MOSCOW, Dec 2 (Reuters) - Russian authorities delayed on Saturday a flight by Finnish carrier Finnair from Moscow to Helsinki after detecting radiation on board, Russia's transport ministry said.

"After the plane landed in Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport and all passengers left it, we did some checks and found that the radiation level was above normal. The flight was delayed," a ministry's official told Reuters.
