Bomb threat forces Austrian Tel Aviv-Vienna flight to land in Bulgaria
VIENNA, Oct 19 (Reuters) - A bomb threat forced an Austrian Airlines flight from Tel Aviv to Vienna to divert to Sofia late on Sunday, though a search found nothing dangerous so the plane took off again and flew onwards, the airline and Bulgaria's BTA news agency said.BTA said the flight's crew reported receiving a bomb threat when the aircraft was approaching the Romanian border, and the Bulgarian Air Force scrambled MiG-29 fighter jets. Israeli newspaper Haaretz said the threat was "called in by an Austrian national who was not on board", without identifying its source.
