Ammon News - An American Airlines flight from New York to New Delhi was diverted to Rome on Sunday due to a security concern later determined to be "non-credible," the airline said, adding the flight landed safely in Rome and will depart for Delhi on Monday.
The flight, which departed from the John F. Kennedy International Airport, had been heading to the Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi.
"American Airlines flight 292, with service from New York to Delhi, diverted to Rome due to a possible security concern," American Airlines said in a statement.
Law enforcement in Rome inspected and cleared the aircraft to re-depart, it said. The flight will stay overnight in Rome to allow for required crew rest before continuing to Delhi on Monday, the company said.
Flight Emergency, a flight-tracking account, posted on X earlier that the flight was diverted to Rome due to a bomb threat.
The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner flight with about 200 people onboard landed at Rome's Leonardo da Vinci airport at about 16:20 GMT, according to airport sources.
The plane was over the Caspian Sea when the airline warned the crew of a bomb threat, sources added.

Falling oak tree in Italy injures dozen people

Ammon News - Foreign tourists were among a dozen people injured when a 50-year-old tree fell next to a bus stop in the Italian lagoon city of Venice on Monday, authorities said. The oak tree fell on a group of people waiting in a shaded area at Piazzale Roma, the last stop for buses and taxis ferrying visitors to and from the lagoon city from the mainland, city officials said. It wasn't immediately clear why the tree fell. The most seriously injured was a 30-year-old Italian woman, who was sitting on a wall near the tree with her two small children when the tree fell, Italian media reported. The woman was in critical condition with abdominal injuries, while her children weren't seriously injured and placed under psychological care, according to hospital officials. Another Italian woman in her 50s also was in critical condition after suffering chest injuries. A video from the scene showed the tree had snapped at the trunk, just above the roots. "The tree was apparently healthy,' Francesca Zaccariotto, the city's top public works official, told the news agency ANSA. She added that the tree was monitored along with others in the city, and there had been no signs indicating a possible collapse.
