Belarus plane arrest - is it a first?
The forced diversion of a Ryanair passenger plane to Belarus's capital Minsk on Sunday, and the arrest of a dissident journalist on board, have caused outrage elsewhere in Europe.
May 26 - The civilian aircraft was flying from Greece to Lithuania, passing through Belarus's airspace, when Belarus sent a fighter jet to intercept it, claiming there was a bomb threat.
The pilots of the Ryanair flight were obliged to follow the instructions of the military plane.
The events have been condemned by the EU and the US. But has a similar intercept happened before?
Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova accused Western countries of hypocrisy, saying (in Russian) that nations "had reacted differently to similar events which took place in other countries earlier".
She referred particularly to an incident eight years ago involving the plane of Bolivia's then-President Evo Morales.
Here's a look back at previous incidents where planes may - or may not - have been forced to land. source from
