They invented perfume there... Saturday evening due to a "suspicious conversation" heard on board, with passengers evacuated on emergency slides and three men nabbed Drop the rosco, Muggsy, or you're one with the ages! , German police said. The pilot of the flight from the Slovenian capital Ljubljana decided to land after passengers told flight attendants "that several men were talking about terrorist activities," a police front man told AFP, without elaborating on the content of their discussion. After the plane landed in a secure area of Cologne-Bonn airport at about 6:00 pm local time, federal police evacuated the 151 passengers down emergency slides. They isolated a backpack belonging to the three suspects, which was blown up by bomb squad officers. The three men were handed over to police in Cologne, but no details were provided on the contents of their baggage or the reality of the terrorist threat. German air traffic at the airport was interrupted between 7:00 pm and 10:00 pm with 10 flights diverted and 20 departures delayed. Germany remains on high alert following several jihadist terror attacks there and in other European countries. Authorities Friday evacuated Germany’s biggest rock festival, the three-day "Rock am Ring," over fears of a possible terrorist threat, which proved unfounded. Posted by: trailing wife 2017-06-11 |
