Jet Returns to JFK After Threatening Note

Filed at 5:26 a.m. ET

NEW YORK (AP) -- A plane bound for London returned to
Kennedy Airport early Friday after a flight attendant found
a threatening note on a seat in the aircraft, authorities
said.

Virgin Atlantic Flight 10 departed from Kennedy Airport
shortly after midnight Friday but returned at about 1:30
a.m., said Darrin Kayser, a spokesman for the federal
Transportation Security Administration.

Kayser said he did not have information about the contents
of the note or whether any arrests were made. He said the
FBI was investigating; a message left for the FBI was not
immediately returned.

More than 250 passengers aboard the plane were evacuated
and rescreened, Kayser said. The Port Authority of New York
and New Jersey conducted a search of the aircraft using
canine units, according to Port Authority spokesman Tony
Ciavolella.

Virgin Atlantic said in a statement that ``as Virgin
expected, the threat is now viewed as a hoax.'' The airline
said it was cooperating with authorities in the
investigation.
