Charter flight from Guantánamo Bay, Cuba makes emergency landing at Miami International Airport (KMIA), Florida

A MiamiAir charter flight to Andrews Air Force Base in Washington, D.C., from the U.S. Navy base in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, was forced to make an emergency landing at Miami International Airport shortly after noon Friday because of engine trouble.

The Boeing 737 landed routinely, and passengers were being processed through Customs and Immigration before being rerouted to Andrews AFB. The plane carried attorneys, the chief judge, 9/11 victim family members, journalists and others who had been in Guantánamo for hearings in the death-penalty trial of the men accused of planning the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
