Photo: AFPA London-bound easyJet flight was diverted to Cologne on Saturday evening due to a "suspicious conversation" heard on board, with passengers evacuated on emergency slides and three men arrested, German police said. After the plane landed in a secure area of Cologne-Bonn airport at about 6:00 pm (1600 GMT), federal police evacuated the 151 passengers down emergency slides. In a statement, the airline said the captain had diverted flight EZY3246 "as a precaution to enable the aircraft to go through additional security checks in Cologne". Easyjet said the flight would take off Sunday after passengers had been provided with overnight hotel accommodation. Authorities Friday evacuated Germany's biggest rock festival, the three-day "Rock am Ring," over fears of a possible terrorist threat, which proved unfounded.
