Chile makes arrests after bomb threats grounded nine planes

On August the 17th,  Chilean police have arrested two men over bomb threats that led to the disruption of several flights in Chile, Peru and Argentina. 

 The planes allegedly planted with bombs had to be diverted after taking off from Santiago’s airport. The threats turned out to be fake. The flights were forced to make emergency landings without telling the passengers the real reason of them so they would not freak out.

 A 29 year old chilean men was arrested because the evidence marked him. His charges were for making threats of explosives contrary to national security legislation.

 Hundreds of passengers were grounded with their luggage at the airport after the threats to LATAM Airlines and SKY Airlines.
