US airliner receives 'toilet-bomb' threat
Authorities arrested Friday an American who locked himself up in the toilet of a Michigan-bound US passenger plane and made a bomb threat. US authorities temporarily shut down the Cherry Capital Airport in Traverse City, Michigan to check for bombs in the bathroom of a United Express plane. "The flight landed without incident at TVC (Cherry Capital Airport), all passengers were deplaned and the plane was swept with negative results," the Transportation Security Administration said in a statement carried by AFP. "Per standard procedures, law enforcement and TSA personnel met the flight, and the passenger in question is currently being interviewed." No details have been released on the identity of the California man who made the threat. According to authorities, the suspected man is under interrogation. Posted by: Fred 2010-01-16 |
