Transatlantic flight diverted to Shannon
A Delta Airlines Flight en route from Istanbul to Philadelphia has been diverted to Shannon Airport, following a security alert.
It follows an explosion inside a Turkish plane at Istanbul airport earlier today, in which three people were injured, just hours before US President George Bush was due to fly out of the same location.
The Delta airliner is expected to be able to continue its journey this evening, after a full security check of the plane and its passengers.
