Security continue to assess US jet bomb threat

The plane at the centre of a bomb threat in Atlanta, America, has been moved away from the main buildings of Atlanta's airport while security checks the threat.

A suspicious package was said to have been found while crew were unloading baggage from the plane which was bound for Boston's Logan airport.

There were no passengers on board the plane at the time.

Former mayor of New York Rudolph Giuliani is currently in Atlanta.
