An airplane of the Irish low budget company "Ryan Air" which was scheduled to fly from Oslo to Manchester, was urgently evacuated just before it flew to UK.

Norwegian police said the evacuation was carried out because of the suspicion that the plane had a bomb.

Later, authorities said that there was a "misunderstanding", but the police at the airport in Oslo, however, arrested two people who were among the passengers.

According to the Media in Norway's capital, one of the passengers is British and one from Sri Lanka and the two were detained and interrogated as suspects, because they "behaved oddly".

Supposedly there was a noisy argument between the two, while the crew prepared the aircraft for takeoff, so other passengers who were on the plane, in the "loud debate", heard the word "bomb".

The company "Ryan Air" announced that the two passengers were quickly released and were on the plane when it flew to Manchester, once "the situation was normalized".

The incident happened shortly after a false bomb was discovered at "Old Trafford" in Manchester, forcing the emergency evacuation of the spectators and the cancellation of the match between "Manchester United" and "Bournemouth".

The "Bomb" was destroyed, and experts say the "package bomb" found in a toilet at the stadium was actually a harmless device that accidentally was left by a private security company after they previously conducted training for emergency situations.
