An Air India flight from Mumbai to Newark with 327 passengers was flying over Ireland on Thursday when the airline messaged its pilots about a bomb threat received via email from a sender who claimed to be from an anti-Israel terror outfit. “The mail spoke about fuel mixed with explosives to target three flights, one of them AI 191,” said a source. In an hour, the flight landed safely at London Stansted — the designated airport for aviation security emergencies — but not without high drama as the Air India Boeing 777 was escorted by two supersonic Typhoons from the British Royal Air Force.
