Paris prosecutors investigate false emailed flight bomb reports
Sky News Arabia reports that Paris prosecutors opened an investigation on Saturday to identify the senders of false bomb reports emailed about aircraft in French airspace and to check whether the senders had links to foreign powers. That possible connection is under investigation, not a finding; the senders have not been identified. The inquiry comes amid a week of false alerts affecting commercial flights across Europe. Some prompted route changes or fighter escorts, followed by evacuations and searches after landing.
