An Air France flight from Mauritius to Paris was forced to make an emergency landing in Kenya early on Dec. 19 after a suspected bomb was found on board, police said.

Navy and police bomb experts were called in to determine if there were any explosives on board the plane, which had 459 passengers and 14 crew members aboard.

Kenyan special forces took at least seven hours to deploy at a university massacre in which almost 150 people were killed, scathing reports said Sunday, but security chief defended their response.
