First flight with Syrian refugees lands in UK
None
A plane carrying around 100 Syrian refugees has touched down in Scotland's Glasgow Airport, the first of several special flights to arrive in Britain as part of a program to resettle 20,000 people from camps surrounding Syria.
Some refugees have already been arriving in Britain since the plan was announced in September, but Tuesday saw the arrival of the first charter flight.
Britain has said it would take in 20,000 refugees by 2020.
In the wake of concerns about refugees after the Paris attacks -- one of the attackers reportedly entered Europe through Greece -- Home Secretary Theresa May has said those arriving will be thoroughly screened to ensure they don't pose a security threat.
