Air France received hoax bomb threat for flight from Argentina

Wednesday, 3 June 2009

An Air France spokesman confirmed this afternoon that the airline received a hoax bomb threat for a flight from Argentina to Paris on May 27th.

But France's Defence Minister said there was no evidence that terrorism was behind the disappearance of a plane that left Brazil on Sunday night.

Brazilian and French navy ships have been trying to recover the wreckage of the Airbus A330, 400 miles off the coast of Brazil.

228 people were onboard, including three young Irish women and two Aer Lingus staff.

• Gritty, moving and heroic...Billy plays captured life here

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times ... Sunday's 30th anniversary screening of the seminal Too Late to Talk to Billy was riveting viewing. But it wasn't nostalgic viewing.

• Parties need better defence in Stormont's game of two halves

Surprise, surprise. Peter Robinson has been to his first gaelic match, Martin McGuinness is heading for Windsor Park and the Ulster Unionists have scored another own goal.

• Why trying to go on a diet is never really a piece of cake

Some people make New Year’s resolutions, I make lists. Every new year I determine to keep track of everything I spend and everything I eat and drink.

• Scary movie? Their jaws were sore from laughing

Teenage boys love horror films and I have two who are in charge of the remote control in our house, so naturally there’s gore-a-plenty on the box most weekends. However, until recently one film was banned.
