Attempted hijack lands in Spain
From the BBC
A Colombian passenger plane has made an emergency landing in Spain after a man attempted to hijack it, police said.
A man, who was reportedly armed with a knife, tried to take control of the plane.
The plane was diverted to Torrejon military airbase near Madrid and escorted to the ground by two fighter jets, police said.
The Avianca Airbus was travelling from Bogota to Madrid's Barajas airport.
Local media reports that all of the passengers have left the plane unharmed.
