At least 11 European flights diverted or grounded over bomb threats

At least 11 planes in Europe were diverted or grounded after bomb threats that Fox News says were found to be unfounded, starting with a Dublin-Rome flight sent to France.

Posted Updated (23 min ago)

At least 11 aircraft were diverted or kept on the ground in Europe after bomb threats, Fox News reports. It says the threats have been determined to be unfounded. The flights involved departed from cities including Dublin, Madrid and Warsaw.

The first reported case was a flight from Dublin to Rome. The French prime minister's office said the plane was diverted after a bomb threat. The Guardian identifies it as an Aer Lingus flight sent to the military base at Évreux. NBC News calls the destination a French air force base.

Deutsche Welle reports the aircraft, an Airbus A320, made an emergency landing at Évreux. An earlier Guardian live blog said the plane flew past Évreux without touching down before the later reports of a landing.

Deutsche Welle says some flights diverted and others landed with a military escort after bomb or security threats. It describes the Dublin-Rome case as the latest of several similar ones in recent days. Al Jazeera reports a separate incident in Bulgaria.

The reports give no details on the Bulgarian incident or on most of the other flights.
