Bomb threats delays flight from Egypt

CAIRO, July 18 (UPI) -- A bomb threat, which turned out to be a false alarm, Sunday delayed an Olympics Airline flight for three hours at Cairo International Airport in Egypt.

Airport security officials said an anonymous caller claimed there was a bomb aboard Olympics flight 326, bound for Athens.

The call, which came a few minutes before take-off, prompted the evacuation of 96 passengers before the aircraft was moved away from the terminal and searched.

The flight subsequently departed for Athens three hours behind schedule.
