Bomb Threats on European Flights Prompt International Investigations

French prosecutors opened an inquiry into dozens of false bomb threats that targeted passenger flights across Europe, examining possible ties to foreign powers. In Portugal, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) notified the Public Security Police (Polícia de Segurança Pública or PSP) about threat alerts sent to TAP Air Portugal aircraft. The European Commission has activated a coordination network among member states while security agencies work to identify those responsible for the widespread hoaxes.
