Bomb threat grounds NYC to Moscow flight in Iceland
A New York to Moscow flight by Russian airliner Aeroflot has landed in Iceland due to a bomb threat. Five suitcases of explosives were allegedly on board and would detonate after landing in Moscow, an anonymous source told US law enforcement.
The plane’s crew requested an emergency landing at the Reykjavik airport. The aircraft made a safe landing and all passengers were evacuated from the plane. The aircraft and its cargo are currently being searched for explosives.
