A Dutch airliner was evacuated at a Swedish airport on Saturday after a passenger found what appeared to be a bomb threat written in a magazine on board, but police said later no explosives were found.
A passenger on the KLM flight from Gothenburg to Amsterdam raised the alarm after finding a threatening message in an on-board magazine shortly before it was due to take off.
Sniffer dogs found no device on board, police spokesman Glenn Sjoberg told the local news agency TT. "We found nothing," said Sjoberg. "The message could have been written a week ago. We don't really know if anyone read the magazine the last time the plane was in the air."
The coach of a handball team on board, Stefan Albrechtson, said a Dutch passenger alerted the KLM crew just as the plane started moving away from the terminal and the captain told the rest of the 144 passengers there was a possible bomb threat.
