Woman's Boyfriend Scare Sparks Plane Bomb Threat

A Beirut-to-Paris flight was grounded for hours after a passenger who had left her boyfriend behind said she feared he might have put a bomb in her luggage to keep her from leaving.

"The girl, Katia Salha, was either in love with this guy called Hussein Mughnieh, or they were engaged, and as the plane was taxiing to the runway she got an anonymous message on her phone telling her that he wished her bon voyage," a security official said.

"She got scared and she alerted a hostess that she feared her boyfriend might have left a bomb in her luggage."

So the pilot of the Air France flight taxied back to the gate for the plane to be searched.

But nothing was found in the woman's luggage, and she was forced off the plane.

The flight was delayed for three hours due to the bomb scare.
