German authorities are questioning three British men detained after their conversations on board an easyJet flight from Slovenia to London prompted the pilot to divert to Cologne, Germany, a local police spokesman said. Nine people received medical treatment after all 151 passengers were evacuated from the Airbus 319 aircraft using emergency slides. The pilot diverted the flight from Ljubljana to Cologne on Saturday evening after passengers reported that the men were talking about “terrorist matters”, police and state prosecutors said in a joint statement. The men were aged 31, 38 and 48, a spokesman for Cologne police said. Seventeen arriving flights were diverted to other airports, 20 departing flights were significantly delayed and two flights were canceled, the airport said.
