Simply mind blowing

NEW DELHI: "I have a bomb on my mind," an Italian woman told her co-passenger onboard the Indian Airlines flight to Ahmedabad on Sunday, leading to the immediate evacuation of the aircraft that had several high-profile travellers.

Valentine Gatter-Meier complained of acute headache to her co-passenger, who became suspicious and immediately alerted the airhostess. "The woman was under immense tension because of her medical condition and muttered the words to her curious co-passenger, who suspected something fishy due to her tense brows," sources said.

The 30-year-old Italian was interrogated by a team of police and Intelligence Bureau officials and found to be innocent. The visitor was let off later.
