Bomb hoax on Mumbai-bound flight

By Our Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI, SEPT. 13. The Indira Gandhi International airport security system which is on high alert was put to test today with a Mumbai-bound Sahara Airlines flight receiving an anonymous call at 7 a.m. that a bomb was planted on board. The Bureau of Aviation Security forces at the airport swung into action and with the help of a caller-identity phone identified the caller. After a thorough search of the plane nothing was found.

However, in view of the general atmosphere of scare the flight was cancelled.
