ATHENS (AFP) — An Aeroflot flight from Athens to Moscow was re-routed over Greece on Monday after an anonymous call to Athens airport warning that a bomb was on board, an airport source said.
"The plane has landed safely," the source told AFP, declining to give further details.
No information was immediately available on the number of passengers aboard.

Aeroflot Flight 296 has returned to Greece after a bomb threat was received during a flight from Athens to Moscow, Russia.

Greek authorities told the Airbus A319's flight crew to return the jet to Athens International Airport after the airport was told by an anonymous telephone caller that a bomb was on the flight. The airliner reached an area close to the Turkish border when word was received and the aircraft turned around.

At 12:18 GMT, the aircraft performed a safe landing at Athens, and all 49 passengers were evacuated safely. Local authorities then searched the aircraft, but no bomb was found.
