Just heard on CBC radio that El Al flight to Toronto was diverted by Canadian authorities for undisclosed security concerns.
It landed in Montreal and then Hamilton.
Hamilton is about a one hour drive from Toronto depending very much on traffic.
More details in Ha'aretz (http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/353202.html)

The return flight was also diverted to Hamilton due to the same security threat.

There seem to be two stories: one re Croatia (in Ha'aretz) and one re Canada:
