I hope the flight wasn't delayed too much after all.

Today some extra news on the item:

Apparently a repatriated passenger shouted "Allahu Akbar", shortly after a female (and scared) passenger called the police to announce there was a bomb on board.

The aircraft headed back to the gate where the airport police searched the aircraft but found nothing suspicious. Afterwards the caller and two troublemakers were questioned by the police.

The repatriated passenger will be flown to Casablanca today.
