Has anyone seen anything more about this? Seems 2 RAF jets were sent to intercept a plane from Kenya and divert it from Heathrow to Stanstead due to a potential security threat. The story seems to have fallen off the BBC News home page. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-essex-67093649

As the plane has landed safely, and Stansted is operating normally, there isn't much to report.

That BBC article includes: llan Kilavuka, CEO of Kenya Airways, said: "There was suspicion of some of the people on board. But nothing to do with a bomb or anything like that"

So my guess is that the operation was intelligence-led and that we won't really hear any more about it (unless a prosecution follows in this country)

This. It's already over.
