  • Passengers Quizzed As Bomb Threat Forces Turkish Jet To Land In Delhi

    A Turkish Airlines aircraft was forced to make an emergency landing at the New Delhi airport on Tuesday after a note warning of a bomb was found in its lavatory. National Security Guard commandos were rushed to the Indira Gandhi International airport after 148 passengers travelling in the aircraft, headed to Istanbul, were evacuated. "The pilot observed something suspicious and informed the Air Traffic Controller. The aircraft has been taken to the isolation bay," a source in the Central Industrial Security Force told Hindustan Times. The aircaft was in the Indian airspace when a crew member noticed "bomb in cargo hold" written on the mirror of aircraft's washroom, the source added. Intelligence officials were questioning evacuated passengers for clues on the incident.
