DHAKA; Four domestic Chinese flights were diverted on Thursday after bomb threats were received, state media reported, days after an attack rocked Tiananmen Square in the capital.

The official Xinhua news agency reported that an unidentified suspect had been arrested in connection with the false threats, which affected four flights to or from Changsha in the central province of Hunan.

Searches of the aircraft found no explosive devices, reports The Straits Times.

It was not immediately clear whether the suspect was the same person responsible for a multiple bomb threat made two days earlier, also at Changsha airport.
