Suspicious Package Traced to Flight Attendant: FBI

The FBI says a flight attendant fabricated a story about a suspicious package on a Delta Air Lines flight that led to an emergency landing at a North Dakota airport last week. The Dickinson airport was temporarily shut down Wednesday when the aircraft traveling from Minneapolis landed, according to documents unsealed yesterday in US District Court in Bismarck. An FBI affidavit says Justin Cox-Sever, now on administrative leave, admitted to stuffing a bag with towels and later reporting it as a suspicious package making beeping noises. He is charged with interfering with the operation of an aircraft and communicating false information and is due in court today.
