KABUL — At least one passenger suspected of being an insurgent managed to board an Afghan airliner bound for the Middle East before authorities ordered the plane to return to Kabul, NATO and Afghan officials said Wednesday.
There were conflicting accounts about where the flight was headed — Saudi Arabia or Bubai — and the number of suspects — one or four — involved in the episode, which occurred Monday.
A news release from the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force said Afghan authorities had been looking for a Haqqani network “weapons facilitator.” The Afghan intelligence agency said the suspect was not planning to hijack the aircraft but was only trying to flee the country.
