U.K.: 4 MOSLEMS MARCHED OFF THE PLANE AFTER ACTING "STRANGE"

Men marched off aircraft

Quartet in robes made passengers "nervous"

Police marched four men of Asian appearance off a plane at Luton after a passenger said their behaviour made him nervous.

The men — in Islamic robes — were arguing in a foreign language and then all went to the toilet, one after the other.

A fellow traveller on the Luton to Glasgow easyJet flight demanded they be kicked off — just as the plane was to taxi to the runway.Cabin crew alerted the captain and police were called, who took the men, all in their 20s, off the plane.

Everyone else on board was then ordered off with their hand luggage while the crew searched the cabin.

The jet took off an hour and ten minutes late at 10pm on Wednesday.

One passenger on the flight said: "Considering they had just got on a minute before, their behaviour was pretty bizarre. I think other people were worried."
