Spain’s busiest airport has been closed for four hours due to an attempt by a group of people to enter the country illegally.

A passenger on a flight from Morocco to Turkey has reportedly landed at an airport in Spain due to an emergency condition.

At the time of landing, 21 passengers had escaped from the plane and 09 of them had been arrested.

When the passenger was admitted to the hospital, the doctors confirmed that he was not ill.

Accordingly, it is doubtful whether the incident was a deliberate attempt to enter Spain illegally.

The Spanish security forces have launched a special operation to arrest the 12 fugitives, the first such incident in Spain.
