AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Thieves hijacked an armored truck carrying diamonds and jewelry from Amsterdam's Schiphol airport Friday and escaped with their haul, Dutch airline KLM said.
A spokesman declined to put a value on the loss.
The robbers were heavily armed, a source close to the investigation said. The empty truck was later recovered.
"KLM security staff were threatened during the heist but no one was injured," an airline spokesman said.
Police and airport authorities declined further comment.
