Suspected trafficker arrested after throwing 15 packages of white powder from tourist plane
A French fighter jet intercepted a tourist plane over a remote region of France over the weekend, leading the pilot of the small aircraft to throw out more than a dozen bags of suspected drugs, security and air force sources told AFP.
One of France’s most modern fighters was sent to check on the single-seater tourist plane over the remote Ardèche region on Saturday after it flew through restricted airspace near a nuclear plant and was judged to be manoeuvring suspiciously.
