Singapore Airlines flight from US gets bomb threat

A Singapore Airlines (SIA) flight from San Francisco via Hong Kong received a bomb threat but arrived without incident in Singapore on Sunday, police said.

Police said in a statement they conducted checks but nothing suspicious was found on the plane or its passengers.
It did not say where and how the threat was made.
The city-state, a close US military and economic partner, raised its security alert level soon after the November 13 attacks by Islamic State militants in Paris which killed 130 people.
Singapore hosts the offices and production facilities of thousands of multinational corporations and is Southeast Asia’s main aviation hub.
Authorities in 2001 foiled a plot to bomb US and other foreign targets in Singapore and arrested several local Muslims suspected of links with regional militants.
Local newspaper Today said on its website that the SIA flight arrived around noon but passengers were only allowed to disembark one and a half hours later, with baggage release delayed further by security screening.
It quoted a passenger as saying that the plane was parked in a remote area in the airport before they were ferried by bus to the terminal.
A Turkish Airlines plane flying from New York to Istanbul was diverted to Canada on Sunday because of a bomb threat, but police said no explosives were found.

See Wooden Bridge Constructed By Young Men In Adamawa State Without Government Support

This wooden bridge was constructed by young men in Adamawa without government support. The old bridge was destroyed by Boko Haram. It was a very important bridge that connects Adamawa North and Adamawa Central. Even the governor and other important people in the state use this wooden bridge when they visit their villages. Instead of rebuilding the bridge, the Adamawa state government recently announced that it will spend 200 million Naira on prayer warriors. I believe that is a misuse of public money. Nigerians are praying daily. You don't need to spend millions on prayers. The North East states have a lot of work to do in rebuilding the communities and infrastructures destroyed by Boko Haram. I don't think the governors in the region understand the magnitude of the problem. It is time for them to wake up and get their priorities right. If you know the Adamawa State governor, tell him that rebuilding this bridge is an important and urgent project.
