Washington, Jun 20 (AP) No explosives were found aboard a plane that landed in Washington after someone made a bomb threat at an airport ticket counter Sunday in Ohio, an FBI spokesman said.
Andrew Ames said the plane was given the all-clear and no hazards were found. The plane landed at Reagan National Airport on Sunday afternoon.
When it landed, authorities swept the plane for explosives and interviewed the 44 passengers aboard. The person who made the threat at the Dayton airport was taken into custody.
The threat shut down the airport for about 20 minutes on Sunday. US Airways Flight 2596 was sent away from the gate after landing, the FBI said.
Courtney Mickalonis, a spokeswoman for the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, said the plane landed about 1 pm.
