Easyjet plane evacuated in Cologne-Bonn airport

A plane flying from Slovenia to the UK made an unplanned landing after the pilot was alerted to a "suspicious conversation" with "terrorist content".

Three British men were arrested and are being questioned after the Easyjet flight from Ljubljana to Stansted, in Essex, was diverted to Germany's Cologne-Bonn airport on Saturday.

All 151 passengers were evacuated and flights were suspended for three hours.

A backpack belonging to the men was blown up by police.
