ISTANBUL (Reuters) - A Turkish Airlines flight heading for Brazil was forced by a bomb threat to land in Morocco for more than three hours on Monday, but was cleared to fly on after no explosives were found.

Flight TK15 had departed from Istanbul bound for Sao Paulo when a note with the word "bomb" was found in a lavatory, a spokeswoman said. It was the airline's second such scare in two days.
