Swiss news agency reports it as a bomb threat to the flight from ZRH to AGP. Apparently the threat was serious enough to warrant an immediate landing and then a rapid evacuation of the aircraft.
The Aircraft was then towed away from the RWY, and bomb disposal waited until 17h30 (the scheduled arrival in AGP) to examine the aircraft.
Passengers have been rebooked on other flights to AGP, although all luggage will be thoroughly screened first.
Good job to the pax evacuating a A320 without injuries

and it was an A321, not A320.

I Was There !
I landed after a short IFR flight with a club plane there. When I left the club-house, the 320 was still on the runway. Passengers were already off, slides still on.
