A series of false bomb alerts shake Europe on Friday, after dozens of similar warnings this week, targeting commercial flights but also media and mobilising security forces.
Bomb alerts are increasing in the European sky. On Thursday, a Dublin-Rome flight was diverted to a French military base, escorted by two fighter aircraft.
