Russia complains about alleged search of airplane in London

LONDON - The Russian Embassy in Britain has complained about the alleged search of a Russian airliner that landed at London's Heathrow Airport.
The embassy said British Border Forces and Customs officers searched an Aeroflot flight from Moscow Friday in violation of international rules.
In a tweet, the embassy called the alleged search "another blatant provocation by the British authorities" over the poisoning of a Russian ex-spy and his daughter in England.
The British government did not immediately comment on the embassy's complaint.
Russia says it has sent a diplomatic note demanding an explanation of the search.
