PRAGUE, Dec 28 (Reuters) - A Russian passenger plane bound for Geneva was hijacked on Thursday but it made an emergency landing in Prague and the hijacker was "pacified", a Czech police spokesman said.

"According to the latest information, the culprit was foiled on board the plane, meaning he was pacified, not in the sense of any damage to ... health," spokesman Pavel Hantak said.
