Cairo airport security said on Wednesday they had evacuated passengers, including Egyptian Tourism Minister Zuheir Garana, from a Rome-bound plane after receiving a telephone call saying a bomb was on board.
The airport security declared a state of emergency and evacuated the 157 passengers, most of them Italians, from the Alitalia flight.
The passengers were taken to the transit hall and the plane was driven away from the boarding gates.
The passengers were inspected and the police were combing luggage and the plane for explosives.
The phone tip-off was anonymous.
This came off the news-ticker, nothing found so far....
