Authorities said the Swiss air force had scrambled F-18 aircraft to escort the plane 'because of a bomb threat'.

The thread is hastily posted and hence not detailed. For example after the passanger airplane was intercepted by jet fighters, what happened? Was the airplane forced to land where the bomb was found and defused ? Or the threat was hoax and there was no any bombs and the plane was allowed to continue with its journey to Israel?
Let much more information added for public consumption.
