An American Airlines flight from New York to New Delhi landed safely in Rome on Sunday afternoon after it was diverted due to a security concern, which later proved to be “non-credible,” the airline said.

A flight from New York to New Delhi had to be diverted to Rome because of a bomb threat. "This is particularly true if Russia assesses that the US cannot or will not support the European NATO countries in a war with Russia."

Authorities said they received an emailed bomb threat concerning the flight; the threat was later determined to be unfounded.
