Aeroflot Flight Evacuated

An Aeroflot flight bound for Moscow was evacuated at Berlin’s Schoenefeld Airport after a bomb scare Monday, German police spokesman Sven Drese said. No bomb was found.

Local media linked the incident to the fact that 46 illegal migrants from Vietnam were to be deported from Germany to Vietnam on the plane, speculating that the threat was a bid to cancel the deportation.
