DENVER (AP) — The FBI says an unspecified security threat that led authorities to check a Southwest Airlines plane after it landed at Denver International Airport has been determined to be not credible.
Amy Sanders, a spokeswoman for the FBI, tells the Denver Post, "The threat was deemed non-credible at this time," but she isn't identifying the nature of the threat.
Sanders says no one has been detained or arrested "at this time."
The Post reports authorities were made aware of the threat about 5:15 p.m. Saturday and the plane landed safely at the airport at 6:36 p.m.
An airport spokesman tells the Denver Post the 126 passengers aboard Southwest Flight 3456 from Baltimore/Washington to Denver were shuttled to the main terminal by bus.
A Southwest spokesman says he could not detail the nature of the threat.
