Two Nepal-bound Indian flights grounded over bomb scare

NEW DELHI -- Two Indian passenger planes bound for Nepal got bomb warnings Wednesday and bomb squads are searching the planes at the Indira Gandhi International Airport, said local media.

Kathmandu-bound flights of Air India and Jet Airways were grounded after bomb threat call, the Press Trust of India quoted Delhi Airport sources as saying.

This is the second consecutive day that Nepal-bound Indian passenger planes got bomb threats.
