Bomb scare grounds Indian airliner in Malaysia
An Indian airliner made an emergency landing in Malaysia on Thursday over a bomb scare, but fear turned to puzzlement once authorities discovered the contents of a suspicious package: three gold bars.
The pilot of the IndiGo budget airline flight from Singapore to Chennai in India diverted to Malaysia early Thursday after a crew member found the package in the toilet.
A Malaysian fire and rescue team that inspected the package at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) found it contained three bars weighing less than 1 kilogramme (2.2 pounds) combined.
They were believed to be gold but authorities did not confirm that.
After evacuating the more than 100 passengers, a search found nothing dangerous.
"It was not chemicals. It was bars of gold-coloured metal wrapped up in cloth," said Sani Harul, a fire official.
The airliner later resumed its flight to India. The case is being investigated.
"We questioned the crew, but not passengers, as the yellow-coloured items were found in the toilet, not in anyone's possession," police official Zaldino Zaludin said.
