BELEK, Turkey (Reuters) - The President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker and the chairman of European Union leaders Donald Tusk were grounded on Monday evening in Turkey because of a security concern regarding their plane, an EU official said.

The two top EU officials were to leave on their own plane, provided for them by Belgian Air Force (BAF), to go back to Brussels after a meeting of leaders of the world's 20 biggest economies (G20) in the Turkish sea resort of Antalya.
