THESSALONIKI, Greece (AP) — Police in Greece say a 41-year-old Tunisian man has been arrested for alleged disorderly behavior on a commercial flight that prompted the pilot to make an unscheduled landing in the northern Greek city of Thessaloniki. The suspect had been traveling on a Tunisair flight from Istanbul to Tunis. He was detained after the plane landed. Greek police later said Monday that he was traveling on false documents and that he had a prior drug-related conviction in Greece.
