Officials across Europe report more bomb threats against flights, following a series of hoaxes causing diversions this week. Two broadcasters also received security threats. No suspicious items were found, but the threats raise concern amid other recent disruptions. French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu’s office says four new bomb threats targeted aircraft over French territory on Friday. Hungary's defense minister said military fighter jets escorted three passenger planes across the country. There were several other threats to flights. It's unclear who is behind the wave of hoaxes.
