Plane arrives in Pakistan after false bomb threat
None
Relatives thronged an airport in southern Pakistan on Sunday to greet passengers whose flight from Canada was diverted to Sweden after a baseless report that a man aboard had explosives. Canadian officials investigated whether someone with a grudge called in the threat.
"We really got scared, especially when we saw a large number of commandos wearing masks coming in," said Irfan Ahmed, a 35-year-old passenger on the flight from Toronto. Passengers were told there was a technical problem with the aircraft, a Boeing 777 operated by Pakistan International Airlines, and didn't find out the real reason until they were on the ground.
