Checked the wires and it was AFL103 to SVO from JFK.

Aeroflot said a call was received (in the US) saying bombs were on board so the pilot diverted to Keflavik. 253 on board. The caller said the bombs were in luggage and timed to explode on arrival at SVO.

Hopefully all bolleau and the perp will be caught.
