| Pakistani plane evacuated in Norway after bomb threat |
| 2009-01-14 |
| A passenger plane flying from Pakistan to Denmark was evacuated on Monday after a bomb threat against it while it was on a layover at Oslo's main airport, police said. Because a phone call is cheaper than a bomb... "The threat came in at 4:40pm when the plane was on the ground. It was evacuated and we are now inspecting it," said Hans Holmgrund, the police station chief in Gardermoen, where Oslo's international airport is located. He said the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) plane was a Boeing 777 and that the evacuation "went well and was not problematic". The Dagbladet daily's online edition quoted airport information chief Jo Kobro as saying the threat had been called in to an airport information desk. "A threat was called in from a Pakistani number," he said. Some 300 people were reportedly onboard at the time. |
