Police in Dublin, Ireland, on Monday arrested a 19-year-old German man who is accused of having committed a bomb hoax that led to the emergency landing in Ireland of a Delta Airline flight from Frankfurt, Germany, to the U.S. state of Georgia. A crew member on the flight found a note in a toilet suggesting there was a bomb onboard the plane. The 134 passengers and 10 crew members left the plane safely and were questioned and asked to provide handwriting samples by the police. Soon after, they arrested the German man.
