Three men were arrested after the plane traveling from Ljubljana, Slovenia, to London was diverted to the western Germany city of Cologne on Saturday. Passengers alerted the flight crew because the men were "talking about terrorism-related content," Cologne police said. When the aircraft landed in Cologne, all the passengers exited the plane through emergency slides. "The captain took the decision as a precaution to enable the aircraft to go through additional security checks in Cologne where the aircraft was met by the police," an airline spokesperson said in a statement.
