PRAGUE, Czech Republic Dec 28, 2006 (AP)— A Russian Aeroflot airliner made an unscheduled landing at Prague's international airport on Thursday after an apparent hijacking attempt, and a passenger was detained, police said.

The Airbus A320 flying from Moscow to Geneva, landed at Ruzyne airport shortly before 11 a.m., airport spokeswoman Pavlina Hajkova said.

Police spokesman Pavel Hantak said that the alleged hijacker was "pacified on board the plane" and the man, a Russian citizen, was taken into custody by Czech police.
