A string of bomb threats roiled passenger flights across Europe in a suspected hoax campaign that grounded aircraft, led to diversions and prompted the scrambling of jet fighters.

据知情人士透露,周四有两起备降事件是由一封发往罗马主要机场的电子邮件引发的,该邮件声称来自一个边缘极端民族主义俄罗斯组织。
Two of the diversions Thursday were triggered by an email sent to Rome’s primary airport purporting to be from a fringe ultranationalist Russian group, according to a person familiar with the matter.
知情人士称,邮件声称两枚爆炸装置已被安置在两个飞往意大利首都的航班上。
