PARIS, Nov. 6 (Xinhua) -- Four new bomb threats involving planes flying over French territory were reported on Friday, and the targeted aircraft landed "without incident," announced Matignon, the French prime minister's office.

Four planes, three of which landed at Paris-Orly Airport and one in Bordeaux, are undergoing "security inspections" by bomb disposal teams, and "an investigation is underway to determine the source of these alerts, which are affecting all of Europe," Matignon said.

On Thursday, a flight from Dublin to Rome landed at a French air base due to a bomb threat.

Since the beginning of this week, a series of bomb threats has disrupted air traffic across Europe, affecting flights in at least 16 European countries. ■
