Dutch to free passengers arrested on flight to India
Dutch authorities will release all 12 passengers arrested on a U.S. Northwest Airlines plane bound for India on Wednesday after concluding they were not planning an attack, prosecutors said on Thursday.
From the statements of suspects and witnesses, no evidence could be brought forward that these men were about to commit an act of violence, a prosecution statement said, adding police had searched for explosives on the plane but found none.
Prosecutors told a news conference the crew had raised the alarm after the men handed each other mobile phones and laptops during the flight and refused to follow their instructions.
