New bomb scare hits Greek airline



A Greek airliner bound for London has been diverted to the island of Corfu because of a bomb threat.
Olympic Airlines aborted flight 265 from Athens, after the company received an anonymous phone call.

The Airbus 300 - carrying about 220 passengers and crew - is expected to resume the flight early on Tuesday, after a police search.

The incident is the third security alert involving Olympic Airlines in little more than a week.

On 26 September a flight from Athens to New York was diverted to London.

Three days later another plane flying to New York was forced to land in Shannon, Ireland.

In both cases bomb warnings had been sent to Greek media. But police searches found no explosive devices.
