Armed Men Stopped From Boarding Plane to Israel
Two men armed with a knife and a pistol were stopped trying to board a German plane bound for Tel Aviv last week, but escaped by saying they were undercover security agents, an airline official said Friday.
German national airline Lufthansa said one of its security officials said he had caught the men trying to get on the plane as it was being prepared for departure to Israel at Frankfurt airport last Saturday.
``We believe our employee and are taking the matter very seriously,'' Lufthansa spokesman Thomas Jachnow said.
