      BMI Flight to London Delayed by Threat


      A Monday evening British Midlands (BMI) flight from Tel Aviv to London has been delayed several hours because of an anonymous threat received in Britain that the plane might be harmed. Airport security is inspecting the aircraft in an effort to enable the flight to take off as soon as possible.

      Almost three weeks ago, BMI was criticized for maps that did not include the name Israel or Hebrew names of Israeli cities. The airline promised to update the maps within a month.
