Air France airliner diverted to Kenya over bomb scare
Nairobi
AN Air France jetliner flying over the Indian Ocean made an emergency landing in Kenya on Sunday after a suspicious device found in a bathroom turned out to be constructed of cardboard and made to look like a bomb.
Air France Flight 463 was headed from the island of Mauritius to Paris when a passenger noticed the suspicious device. Bomb fears aboard flights have intensified in recent weeks after the crash of a Russian jetliner in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula in October, which Western investigators said was caused by an explosive device.
