Air France Flight Lands Safely at JFK After Chemical Threat

Two U.S. fighter jets escorted an Air France passenger plane to a safe landing in New York Monday morning after a chemical weapons threat was made against the aircraft.

The anonymous threat prompted the military to scramble the F-15 jets as Air France Flight 22 from Paris arrived at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport.  The threat was later deemed not credible and the plane cleared. 

Air France said passengers disembarked "normally." 

News reports also say a threat was made against American Airlines Flight 131, which arrived at the JFK airport from Birmingham, England, but that threat was also considered not credible.
