Eight Flights Between Europe and U.S. Canceled
WASHINGTON Six U.S.-bound flights from England, Scotland and France have been canceled because of security concerns. The U.S. government said it had fresh indications of Al Qaeda's continued interest in targeting commercial planes flying to the United States.
U.S. officials have been concerned for some time that Al Qaeda wants to use chemical, biological or radiological weapons aboard an airplane. However, the threat information that led to the canceled flights this weekend did not indicate a specific method to bring down a plane or spread an illness such as smallpox, said a U.S. official speaking on the condition of anonymity.

Plane Diverted Because of Security Threat
CHANTILLY, Va. An American Airlines (search) commuter flight was diverted Saturday after a passenger passed a note to the crew demanding to be taken to Australia, the FBI said. The plane landed safely at Washington's Dulles International Airport (search) and the passenger was in FBI custody.
The FBI (search) said there was no indication that the incident involving Flight 4959, operated by American Eagle and carrying 19 passengers and a crew of five, was terrorism-related.
