Migrants force emergency landing

A woman on a Morocco-Türkiye flight forced the plane to land in Spain by pretending to go into labor
Twenty-eight passengers on board a plane from Casablanca bound to Istanbul fled after a staged emergency forced the craft to make an early landing in Barcelona. Local police have launched a manhunt to find the escapees, most of which are believed to be migrants.
The plane touched down at El Prat airport in Barcelona on Wednesday, Spanish officials said, adding that the emergency was caused by a pregnant woman who faked going into labor. She was later taken to a hospital, which determined she was not giving birth.
