Che Hague - a plane of the company Northwest Airlines was renewed Wednesday at the end of the morning towards the airport of Amsterdam-Schiphol by two F-16 of the Air Force Dutchwoman after an alarm, announced the agency Dutchwoman ANP.

A certain number of passengers were heard by the gendarmerie in middle of day, specified ANP.

The gendarmerie of Schiphol was not immediately reachable to confirm this information.

The national Coordinator antiterrorism (NCTb) stated however that there was at the present time no reason to record the level of alarm in the country, according to ANP.
