Federal agents are investigating bomb threats that appear similar but may not be connected. Both occurred along the Boston and Miami routes, since Sept. 18, according to officials in both cities.
The Boston herald reports, FBI Special Agent Judy Orihuela confirmed FBI agents in Miami interviewed two crewmembers last night from a Boston-to-Miami flight that was delayed by three hours after a flight attendant found a bomb threat scrawled inside the jet bathroom. The threat read “Bomb on Board. Boston to Miami.”
A Boston-bound flight on the same route had to return to Miami International Airport 40 minutes after takeoff on Sept. 18 after a flight attendant found a threatening note in the jet’s bathroom. The word “bomb” was used in that note, too.
