Security forces have surrounded a plane at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport after military police said that a suspected hijacker was on board. Two F-16 fighters were reportedly sent to intercept the Vueling flight, which was traveling from Málaga. But Dutch officials say that there was a miscommunication and that no hijacking took place.
