So how can the US prosecute the Belarussians that forced down the plane to arrest the journalist?

It was a RyanAir flight, so not a US airline or originated in the US. Because US citizen(s) on board?

Responses:

Yes - if the aircraft was outside the special aircraft jurisdiction of the US (which this was), there's still jurisdiction is US nationals are on board -- (edited) - Roger More Jan 21, 07:46 2
- I didn’t know this. Interesting. -- nm - znufrii, exceeded expectations Jan 21, 08:20
- Thanks. I hadn’t seen it mentioned in the news stories why we had jurisdiction. -- nm - spamlet Jan 21, 07:47
