THAI jet clear after bomb message found in toilet

US authorities have cleared a Thai Airways International aircraft which was subject to a bomb hoax to return to Bangkok after they found no evidence of explosives on board.

The departure of flight TG795, on a non-stop trip from Los Angeles to Bangkok, was delayed yesterday by just over two hours from the original schedule of 11.20pm to 1.45am (Los Angeles time).

The four-engine, long-range A340-500 was cleared as ''clean'' for departure from Los Angeles International Airport after US investigators conducted a thorough search of the plane, THAI executives said.

    No bomb = no story. Mentioning 9/11 is simply tacky. Come on Post, give us a bit of journalistic integrity every now and then, please.
