Two held after wires found on plane

A Madrid-bound Delta Airlines passenger plane has been forced to return to New York after suspicious wires were found in a toilet.

Officials at Kennedy Airport are questioning a male and female passenger about the wires, found in a toilet on board the flight, but said no explosives had been found.

New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne said Delta Flight 126 bound for Madrid was returned to the gate and evacuated after a report of a suspicious device aboard.

The flight took off at 8pm and it landed around 10pm.

Wires were found in the lavatory that apparently did not belong to the plane.
