DUBLIN, Ireland - A Delta Airlines jet traveling from Germany to the United States made an emergency landing today in Ireland because of a bomb threat.
Frankfurt-to-Atlanta flight number 27 landed at Shannon airport in the west of Ireland after crew discovered a note in a toilet suggesting there could be a bomb aboard the plane, said Siobhan Moore, spokeswoman for airport operating company Aer Rianta.
Irish police said only that the landing was ``security-related.'' Delta confirmed this and said it did not discuss security issues.
Moore said the 147 passengers were taken off and would be questioned by police.
The Boeing 767-300 was parked away from the airport terminal and would be searched, Moore said.
