An American Airlines flight from New York to New Delhi, India, landed safely in Rome on Sunday afternoon after it was diverted due to a security concern, which later proved to be “non-credible,” the airline said.

A source familiar with the situation said the bomb threat towards Flight AA292, which was traveling from New York to New Delhi, was sent via email.
