Air France Target of Bomb Threat in South America Days Before Plane Lost
That's what Drudge's slug says-- but the servers seem overwhelmed and I can't pull up the page.
Here are his slugs:
Bomb threat AIR FRANCE in S America -- Days Before Flight Dissapeared over Atlantic...
May 27, 2009: 'The airport safety delayed an AIR FRANCE flight this evening before departring for Paris immediately after the company received a bomb threat over the phone at the airport of Ezeiza [Buenos Aires]'
So, five days ago a plane was threatened, searched, and cleared for flight.
The threat may have been a warning of a future bomb, not a currently-placed one.
Correction: I read the Drudge headlines as meaning the same plane was threatened, but re-reading, that doesn't seem to be the case. Just that Air France was threatened.
