An Athens-to-New York flight by Olympic Airways was diverted to Goose Bay, Canada, after a bomb threat, police said. The 412 passengers and crew were stranded for seven hours in the remote Labrador town while the Boeing 747 was emptied and Royal Canadian Mounted Police inspected it. No bomb was found, and the flight took off for New York. The airline diverted the flight after the threat was telephoned to its offices in Athens, police said. A passenger quoted the pilot as saying the threat was from Black September, a Palestinian terrorist group.
