Is this a non event? Surprised it has not been reported before in the Forum. No news of a suspect yet.

They possibly are and possibly are not.
My understanding of the story is the same as Mr Russell’s.

They probably are the ones claiming for asylum.
Similar thing happened with the hijacked Ariana B727 in 2000. http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/february-2000-ariana-afghan-boeing-727-hijackers-win-uk-asylum-case-sparking-fears-of-precedent-206557/

How do you know they are the people at the centre of the event
The ‘plane had to land, was search and five people did not get back on…
That is all that has been reported.
There is no implication they wrote the note.

Now the people at the center of this event are claiming asylum, knowing the UK we’ll allow it: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-22926987
