No charges after LA jet bomb scare

A man who claimed to have a bomb aboard a Los Angeles-bound jet and was tackled and restrained by other passengers will not face charges, the FBI said.

No bomb was found aboard Delta Air Lines Flight 110 from Atlanta, Georgia, and after questioning by the FBI and airport police, investigators decided not to pursue charges, FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said. She said they also concluded the man should have a psychological examination.

The plane was only minutes from landing at Los Angeles International Airport shortly before 10.30am when the man “jumped up and started running ... (and) yelled, ’I’ve got a bomb’,” passenger Bruce Worrilow told US news broadcaster Fox 11.
