An airliner that was the subject of a threatening telephone call has been moved to a remote part of Los Angeles International Airport.
FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said the move Monday afternoon was strictly precautionary and that the person who made the call to a law enforcement agency is under investigation.
The threat involved United Flight 23 from New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport to Los Angeles.
The plane landed safely and the 71 people aboard were taken off at the airport’s west end.
