No explosives found on easyJet plane diverted to Germany

German police say that no explosives were found aboard a London-bound easyJet flight from Slovenia that was diverted to a west German airport after passengers overheard three men on board talking about “terrorist” activities.

The three British men, aged 31, 38 and 48, remain in police custody as police continued to question them. Authorities said none of them was previously known to security services.

The Airbus A319 flying from the Slovenian capital Ljubljana was diverted to Germany’s Cologne-Bonn airport yesterday, causing a major police operation and hours of air traffic chaos.
