Pakistan plane lands in Sweden after bomb threat

An airport spokesman says a plane carrying 273 people bound from Canada for Pakistan has landed at Stockholm's Arlanda airport because of a bomb threat on board.

Arlanda airport spokesman Anders Bredfall says the plane was on its way from Toronto to Karachi, Pakistan, when the pilot requested permission to land in Stockholm. He says the plane landed safely at Arlanda and remains on the landing strip as police head to the scene. (AP)
