British police arrest two men on diverted Pakistan flight

A British security source said early indications suggested that a Pakistan International Airlines plane diverted from Manchester to Stansted Airport on Friday was not the subject of a terror attack.
   
The Defense Ministry said earlier on Friday that it had scrambled fighter jets to escort the plane to Stansted, to the north east of London.
   
A spokesman for Stansted Airport said the plane was being held in an isolated area and that the rest of the airport was operating as normal.

British police arrested two men on a Pakistan International Airlines flight on Friday on suspicion of "endangerment of an aircraft" after it was escorted to a different airport by fighter jets.
   
The plane had been flying from Lahore in Pakistan to Manchester, before it was diverted to Stansted, in Essex, southern England.
