Although information is still coming in, it appears that a bomb threat kept a Chinese plane of an unspecified airline from landing in Urumqi, Xinjiang.
"An Afghan plane bound for the restive western Chinese region of Xinjiang was sent back to Afghanistan after a bomb threat, Chinese media said Sunday.
"Kam Air deputy chief Feda Mohammad Fedawi told The Associated Press that the plane, carrying 160 passengers, left Kabul and was crossing Kyrgyzstan on its way to the Xinjiang capital, Urumqi, when it was told to turn back.
"The Xinhua News Agency said there had been a bomb threat and Urumqi airport authorities had been told not to let the plane land."
