A British Airways passenger plane, escorted by two Dutch F-16 jet fighters, made an unscheduled landing at Schiphol International Airport Thursday, officials said. "BA983 from Berlin to London Heathrow was diverted to Amsterdam as a precaution because of security reasons," a BA spokeswoman in London said. "There was a specific threat to the aircraft but we're not releasing details," she added. "The aircraft landed at 13:56 local time and the passengers have disembarked. The passengers have been taken to a part of the airport where they will undergo security screening." The plane landed safely, and all passengers were taken off the aircraft, Dutch military police spokesman Rob Stenakker said.
