Israelis force down bomb-scare Lufthansa jet
Israeli jet fighters have forced an incoming Lufthansa airliner to land in Cyprus after a bomb alert that German officials had not considered serious. "We wanted to fly to Tel Aviv but the Israeli authorities forced us to land in Larnaca," said a Lufthansa official. The flight from Frankfurt landed safely and security staff are searching it. "We came to the conclusion with the German authorities that this alert was not serious," a spokeswoman told the AFP news agency.Posted by: Bulldog 2004-10-05 |
