AIR France said it received a bomb threat about a flight from Buenos
Aires to Paris just days before one of its planes crashed into the
Atlantic with 228 people on board.
Argentine police received an anonymous telephone warning on May 27 and
searched the plane before passengers boarded but found nothing and it
was allowed to take off with a delay of 32 minutes, a spokesman said
overnight.
There appeared to be no link between the alert and the crash on Tuesday
of the Air France flight between Rio de Janeiro in Brazil and Paris, he
said.
More debris from the Air France jet that came down in the Atlantic was
spotted overnight, but investigators said they were pessimistic about
finding the black boxes that could explain the tragedy.
