Northwest Flight Escorted Back to Amsterdam

Two Dutch F-16 jet fighters escorted a Northwest Airlines flight back to Amsterdam's Schiphol airport on Wednesday morning, Radio Netherlands reported.

 

The reason behind the escort had not been disclosed. A spokesman for the Dutch military police only said a number of passengers were removed from the plane and interviewed, the report said.

 

The military police had informed the national anti-terror coordinator, Tjibbe Joustra, of the incident. Joustra said he did not regard it as sufficient reason for extra security measures, the report added.

 

The airliner was heading for Mumbai, India. When it was escorted back, it was over Germany shortly after leaving Schiphol.

 

It was not known how many people were on board the plane.
