Plane searched after bomb hoax departs LAX

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A Thai Airways jetliner has left Los Angeles International Airport on its way to Bangkok after it was sidelined by a bomb threat.

Airport spokesman Albert Rodriguez says the plane left Los Angeles at about 2:30 a.m. today.

The plane was heading to Los Angeles late Tuesday when the threat was discovered scrawled on a restroom mirror.

The Airbus A340-500 landed safely and was searched by the FBI, which found no evidence of a credible threat.

Passengers were interviewed but there were no arrests.

A Thai Airways statement says the plane’s departure from Los Angeles was delayed for several hours.
