British officials search inbound plane from Moscow

Britain said Saturday that border officials had searched an incoming Aeroflot plane, a move Russia called an act of "blatant provocation" in the ongoing diplomatic spat between London and Moscow. Britain said it conducts routine checks on aircraft to protect the UK from organised crime and people attempting to bring harmful substances into the country. The Russian embassy in London said Friday's search on a scheduled plane arriving from Moscow at London Heathrow Airport was "extraordinary".
