ROME — An Air France jetliner flying to Greece with 111 people aboard made an unscheduled landing at Leonardo da Vinci Airport today after an anonymous caller telephoned a bomb threat, police said.
The jet was flying over the southern Italian city of Naples on a flight from Paris to Athens when flight controllers ordered it to land at Rome. A search by police bomb experts turned up no explosives aboard the Airbus 300, police said, and passengers continued aboard another flight.
