Kenya: 6 suspects questioned over Air France bomb scare

December 20, 2015 20:12

A Kenyan police official says six passengers are being questioned over a suspected bomb found on an Air France plane that forced the jet that was flying to Paris from Mauritius to make an emergency landing in Kenya.

The police official, who is part of the investigation and insisted on anonymity because he is not authorized to give information to the media, said during the flight a passenger noticed something in a lavatory which looked like "a stop watch mounted on a box."

The passenger reported to the cabin crew who informed the pilots leading to an emergency landing at the Moi International Airport in Mombasa. He said one of those being interrogated is the man who reported the package.
