Delta Flight Diverted

Reports Of Bomb Threat On Board

Authorities in Shannon, Ireland, report no evidence to validate a note apparently found in the lavatory or a Delta 767 bound from Frankfurt, Germany, to Atlanta. The flight was diverted to Shannon and all 144 people on board (134 passengers and 10 crew members) were deplaned, questioned and searched after the note was found suggesting there was a bomb hidden on board.

"The search is ongoing," a police spokesman in Dublin said in an interview with Reuters. "So far nothing suspicious has been found, although the search is likely to continue for some time."

The passengers and crew of Flight DL27 were set to spend the night in Shannon before continuing on their interrupted journey.

The aircraft, a 767-300, was parked away from the terminal and passengers evacuated. Police waited until after the plane's scheduled arrival time in Atlanta before boarding and starting their search.

There was no official indication of the language used in the threat, nor where there any specifics on how the note was discovered. Irish officials said the investigation continues.
