A KLM plane with 144 passengers was evacuated at a Swedish airport early Saturday because of a bomb threat found scribbled in a magazine on board the aircraft, police and aviation officials said.
KLM flight 1152 was scheduled to fly from Goteborg, southwestern Sweden, to Amsterdam, Netherlands, but had not left the gate when a passenger found the bomb threat in the in-flight magazine, police spokeswoman Glenn Sjoberg said.
"We are not sure whether it was a note inside the magazine or whether it was written directly in the magazine, but it said 'there is a bomb on board,"' Sjoberg said.
The passenger notified the flight crew, who told all passengers to disembark the Boeing 738, Sjoberg said, adding it was not clear when the bomb threat had been written.
"It could have been two weeks ago," he said, noting that the same in-flight magazines are used for several weeks.
Police bomb-disposal experts were searching the plane with dogs, he said.
The passengers evacuated the aircraft calmly, and no one was injured, air rescue spokeswoman Katarina Ahlberg said.
