Man detained over alleged attack in Leinster
Gardai have ordered a passenger jet to return to Dublin Airport minutes after take-off - when they learned a suspect had left the country on it.
Sources say the foreign national was identified as being on the flight by detectives from the Garda National Immigration Bureau - who then contacted the pilot and told him to come back to the airport.It is reported that flight TK1976 left Dublin 10.50 am on Monday and made it more than 200 kms to the Liverpool area of England before the gardai managed to contact the pilot.
The suspect is not from Turkey, but is understood to have been intending to use Istanbul as a transit airport to fly back to his own country - but gardai scuppered that plan.
