Three male passengers have been detained in Cologne after their easyJet flight bound from Ljubljana in Slovenia to London made a diverted landing, German police have said.
The aircraft landed in Cologne after passengers reported that the men were talking about “terrorist matters”, according to the statement. The men were not identified.
Police carried out security checks of the aircraft and questioned passengers after all 151 on board were evacuated safely from the Airbus 319 aircraft using emergency slides, the airport said in a statement on its website.
Federal police seized a backpack that belonged to one of the men and exploded it outside of the aircraft, police said. They gave no information on its contents and said officials continued to investigate.
