Musharraf stopped from boarding London-bound flight following bomb scare | Former Pakistan President General Pervez Musharraf
was among the passengers of a London-bound Virgin Atlantic flight, who were asked to vacate the aircraft after a bomb scare at the New Jersey airport on Wednesday.
Musharraf along with all other passengers were asked get down from the plane after
a security alert was sounded regarding the presence of a suspicious man on the
aircraft. According to sources, security officials have arrested a man, who reportedly
belongs to the Middle East and had bought a one-way ticket for the flight in cash.
After a thorough check, security officials gave the go-ahead to all passengers
to board the flight. However, Musharraf was not allowed to resume his journey,
and he has been asked to stay at a local hotel here, The News reports. Virgin
Atlantic management has declined to comment on the incident, saying: “We cannot
tell whether the plane was stopped owing to Musharraf or else.” |
