Laser attack on jet plane triggers probe
POLICE are investigating another green laser attack on planes landing at Edinburgh Airport.
The latest incident involved an easyJet aircraft travelling from Belfast at 5.05pm on Monday.
The captain reported the light being fired at the plane from the Musselburgh area as it was approaching the airport.
Last week an easyJet spokesman condemned recent attacks, saying they were "extremely dangerous".
Last month it emerged that there have been at least nine similar incidents at Edinburgh Airport in the last five months.
Police are hunting those responsible for the attacks, which have led to some pilots having to cover their eyes and others having to take evasive action.
