Pax Arrested In Commuter Bomb Threat

"No Indication" This Was Terror Related

An American Eagle commuter flight from LaGuardia (NY) to Reagan International (DC) was diverted to Washington Dulles International (VA) Saturday, after an a passenger reportedly passed a note to a flight attendant, saying there was a bomb on board. Authorities said the passenger demanded the aircraft be flown to Atlanta (GA).

Flight 4959, an Embraer 135 (file photo of type and livery, right) carrying 19 passengers and a crew of five, parked away from the terminals at Dulles. Passengers and luggage were searched by security officials and bomb-sniffing dogs before officials declared there was no bomb.

"There was no indication that this incident was terrorism-related and was nothing more than the unreasonable demands of a disturbed passenger," FBI Assistant Director Michael Mason said.

The passenger who allegedly passed the note was arrested. Officials refused to give his name or nationality.
