South African police arrested a passenger on a Kulula flight at Cape Town airport on Tuesday night for claiming he had a bomb in his hand luggage.

 

Comair spokeswoman Glenda Zvenyika said: "When checking in, he was asked what he had in his hand luggage, and he said some clothing and a bomb."

He returned to base and the man was handed over to the police, according to a report by South African Press Association.

 

The Cape Town to Johannesburg flight, MN 106, was delayed for one hour.
