Athens/Nicosia - A Danish air force plane with Foreign Minister Per Stig Moller on board made an emergency landing Thursday at a small airport of the Cypriot coastal city of Paphos. The semi-official Cypriot agency CNA said the plane landed safely after the pilot requested to make an emergency landing, realising that there was a crack in the cockpit window. Reports said the plane landed safely and none of the passengers, including the minister, was injured. The travel itinerary of the Danish military plane was not released.
