MID-AIR DRAMA PIA Flight PK757 from Lahore to Heathrow intercepted by RAF Typhoons and forced to land at Stansted ‘due to disruptive passenger’!

Police say incident is not believed to be related to terrorism!

Don’t be a hate filled Islamophobe. Just because they are Muslim killers and attackers, that doesn't mean they are Muslim terrorists!
