No explosives on diverted flight

-

German police found no explosives on a Londonboun­d Easyjet plane that was diverted amid passengers’ fears over a conversati­on with “terrorist content”.

Three men, aged 31, 38 and 48, were held and then released by police after the pilot took the decision to make an unschedule­d landing at Cologne-bonn airport, in Germany on Saturday. All 151 passengers on the flight from Slovenia, were evacuated down emergency chutes and several people suffered minor injuries, Cologne police said.
