A Turkish Airlines flight from Nairobi to Istanbul was diverted after the detection of a Wi-Fi network called “bomb on board” that alarmed the passengers, the airline said on Thursday.

In a statement, Turkish Airlines said the flight made an emergency landing at the Khartoum airport in Sudan, but the flight was safely resumed after security inspections on all passengers and the aircraft.
