Three men detained after emergency landing over ‘terrorist matters’ chatter on London-bound plane
‘German police have arrested three passengers for allegedly discussing “terrorist matters,” on an easyJet flight from Slovenia to the UK. The flight from Ljubljana to London Stansted airport was forced to land in Cologne over security concerns.
“EasyJet can confirm that flight EZY3246 from Ljubljana to London Stansted diverted to Cologne today,” the airline said in a statement according to ITV news.
The incident happened mid-flight, when passengers allegedly overheard the three men having a “suspicious conversation” discussing terrorism-related issues, using the words “bomb” and “explosive.” They immediately alerted the crew.
The captain then made the decision to divert the Airbus 319 to Germany as a “precautionary” measure, so that the aircraft and passengers could undergo additional security checks.’
