An Etihad Airways Airbus A330-200, flight EY231 from Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates) to Islamabad (Pakistan) with 190 passengers, diverted to Karachi after a bomb threat was found in one of the airplane's toilets. The landing was safe, the airplane was parked in a remote stand. A search of all passengers and the airplane did not reveal any explosives on board.

Not sure of what actually happened but one thing for sure - permanent markers and lipsticks should be banned and confiscated at security checks....!!!!

I hope so!
People who play that kind of "joke" should be seized somewhere really painful: their wallets...
However, I don't think they will catch anybody.
