Ryanair flight delayed by 'drunk jihadist jokers'
A flight from Brussels to Madrid was delayed by more than 2 hours while police searched for explosives after a party of Belgian men started making jokes about being Islamists with bombs. Passengers were evacuated as police conducted their search, officials say. Prosecutors say the men appeared to be drunk as they were boarding the Ryanair flight early Saturday morning. A man in his 50s was taken away and is likely to be put through a fast-track court procedure. All the luggage also had to be removed from the plane to be examined by bomb squad sniffer dogs. Security at the airport has remained tight ever since it and the city's metro station came under attack in April 2016, causing the deaths of 32 people. Ryanair has repeatedly insisted that it will not tolerate unruly or drunken behaviour on its aircraft. <br/>
