{Flight from Mauritius to Paris forced to make emergency landing in Kenya after suspicious package found on board.}<\/p>\n

An Air France flight from Mauritius to Paris was forced to make an emergency landing in Kenya after a suspicious package was found on board, Kenyan police told Al Jazeera.<\/p>\n

Flight AF 463, which had 459 passengers and 14 crew members on board, had left Mauritius at 9pm local time (17:00 GMT) and was due to arrive in Paris Charles de Gaulle at 5:50am (04:50 GMT) on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The Boeing 777 landed at Moi International Airport, Mombasa, before 1am local time (21:37 GMT).<\/p>\n

“It requested an emergency landing after a device suspected to be a bomb was discovered in the lavatory, an emergency was prepared and it landed safely and all passengers evacuated,” police spokesman Charles Owino told the AFP news agency.<\/p>\n

“Bomb experts from the Navy and the CID were called in and took the device which they are dismantling to establish if it had any explosives,” he said.<\/p>\n

The plane was still in Mombasa airport in the early morning, he added.<\/p>\n
