Mystery package grounds AI flight

A planeload of Air India passengers spent nearly 12 hours in an airport security lock-up yesterday after the discovery of a suspicious package wrapped in black tape forced their overseas flight to return to Toronto.
Passengers said they were given little information about why Flight 188 — bound for Birmingham, England and Amritsar, India on Monday night — was turned around near Montreal when the package was found on the floor of a washroom.
Eleven crew members and 149 passengers were evacuated from the Boeing 777 jet when it reached Pearson International Airport at about 11:25 p.m. A Peel police robot detonated the package early yesterday but found nothing suspicious or threatening inside, only small tools that police said were "uniquely packaged."
Another flight was hastily scheduled to take passengers to their destinations last night.
