JUST IN- Fighter Jet Scrambled After Plane Enters Olympic No-Fly Zone

Britain scrambled a Royal Air Force Typhoon jet on Wednesday after a commercial airliner entered restricted airspace put in place for the London Olympics, the Ministry of Defence said.

The RAF jet was launched after air traffic controllers lost contact with the plane.

But contact was soon re-established with the jet and the Typhoon was called back to base.
