Mid-air terror: All detained in Amsterdam are Indians
All 12 people detained in Amsterdam following a security alert on a US airliner were Mumbai-born, Minister of State for External Affairs Anand Sharma said on Thursday.
"We have got the list of the 12 people. They all were born in Mumbai. Nobody has been arrested as per the latest information but detentions are there," Sharma said.
The Indian embassy in Amsterdam has been given consular access to the detained people, who all had addresses in Mumbai, he said.
"We have to ascertain and get the details. They are all from Mumbai and they all have Mumbai addresses," Sharma said. It was, however, not known how many of them were carrying Indian passports.
Northwest Airlines flight No 42 from Minneapolis to Mumbai was escorted to Amsterdam's Schipol airport on Wednesday by two F-16 fighters after its crew reported some passengers had displayed "behaviour of concern".
Soon after, Dutch authorities reported that 12 people had been detained for questioning.
