Kenyan police were interrogating some of the passengers on an Air France flight from Mauritius to Paris in connection with a bomb scare which forced the plane to make an emergency landing, the Interior Ministry in Nairobi said on Sunday. Earlier that day, Air France flight AF463 was diverted to Mombasa airport, which was briefly shut down due to the scare, disrupting other flights. The plane was carrying 459 passengers and a crew of 14. Two of the passengers are suspected of carrying a suspicious device into the plane's lavatory, Interior Minister Joseph Nkaissery told the press at a conference at Mombasa airport. Four passengers are reportedly of interest to the authorities. It is not clear if they have been taken into custody.
