Passenger makes hoax bomb call to delay flight

A man running late for an internal US flight made a hoax bomb call in an effort to delay the plane.

The man called the America West airline and indicated there was a bomb on board a plane leaving Medford, Oregon, for Phoenix, Arizona.

America West check-in staff at the Rogue Valley International-Medford Airport became suspicious and notified police after the man came to their desk asking about Flight 6262.

The aircraft was by then was on its way back to the airport because of the threat, says police lieutenant Mike Moran.

The unidentified man is being held on outstanding, unrelated criminal charges and being questioned by the FBI, Moran says.

The plane's 30 passengers were evacuated and a bomb squad searched the aircraft with the help of a dog. All bags were rechecked for any trace of an explosive device, but nothing was found.
