## Resource

A Qatar Airways flight to Manchester sparked a military alert when air traffic control received a hoax threat report, prompting two RAF Typhoon jets to scramble for interception—only to be called off before the plane landed safely. Police are now investigating, with a 14-year-old boy from Bolton assisting authorities, as officials warn false reports can cause serious disruption and legal consequences.
