AKIPRESS.COM - Authorities in the U.S. and Canada cleared two Air France flights bound for Paris from the United States that were diverted late Tuesday after receiving anonymous telephoned bomb threats.

Air France Flight 65 from Los Angeles International Airport to Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris was diverted to Salt Lake City International Airport, Air France said in a statement. At about the same time a second flight, Air France 55, took off from Dulles International Airport outside Washington and was diverted to Halifax on Canada's East Coast, officials said, reports AP.

Passengers got off both planes safely and were taken to terminals.

American authorities investigated Flight 65 on the tarmac in Salt Lake City and found no credible threat, according to an FBI statement.

In Halifax, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said investigators found no evidence of an explosive device after they searched Flight 55 and its luggage.

RCMP Constable Mark Skinner said there were 262 people onboard that plane.

The threats came after last week's attacks in Paris that killed 129 people and heightened security concerns around the world. The ISIS terror group claimed responsibility for the atrocity.
