Just in: Two Delhi-Kathmandu flights have been delayed after bomb threats. Passengers on both Air India and Jet Airways flights were asked to deplane and were herded to a holding area inside the airport. A bomb disposal squad is checking both flights. Rabi Thapa, a passenger on board the Air India flight tweeted, "Looks like there has been a security threat. Plane cordoned off, told to evacuate plane and are now stuffed inside a bus. Armed Security forces all around. A bit fazed by the situation."

TV reports said a calller had said there were bombs on both the flights and security agencies were taking no chances.

Just yesterday, an Air India plane with 160 passengers was forced to return to New Delhi almost 30 minutes into a Milan-bound flight after smoke was detected in the cabin Tuesday, the airline said.
