Three men Arrested at Heathrow before Dubai flight took off
News added by AdeelMinhas under Airline News
Police arrested three men on board an Emirates Airline plane at London’s Heathrow Airport on suspicion of making a bomb threat.
The suspects, aged 58, 48 and 36, were detained after a verbal threat was made to cabin staff before flight to Dubai took off late yesterday, the Metropolitan Police said in an e-mailed statement today. A search of the aircraft found nothing suspicious and the plane was released back to the airline, the police said.
The threat came amid heightened concerns about airline security after a Nigerian man attempted to bomb a Detroit-bound Northwest Airlines flight carrying 290 people on Christmas Day. Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the 23-year-old accused of trying to destroy the Northwest plane, pleaded not guilty to U.S. criminal charges yesterday.
