Bomb threat on KLM flight to Israel; plane lands in Bucharest

A KLM flight en route to Israel was forced to make an emergency landing in Bucharest following a bomb threat received on board. This was reported Thursday morning by the Jerusalem Post and Israel National News. Romanian intelligence services confirmed that the aircraft stopped at the Bucharest airport as part of standard security protocols.

This incident is part of a wave of bomb threats targeting passenger flights across Europe, which have forced dozens of aircraft to divert for emergency landings over the past week. So far, no explosives have been found in any of the flights targeted by similar alerts. Further details have not yet been released.
