The Boeing 777 will resume its journey to Pakistan after getting clearance at Stockholm's airport , according to PIA officials quoted by news channels.
The authorities in Canada received bomb threat call. Could very well be hoax bomb threat caller and hope in that case Canadians manage to catch hoax caller and charge him for disturbing flight and its passengers.

Re: PIA Boeing 777 lands in Sweden after bomb threat
STOCKHOLM – A plane carrying 273 people bound from Canada for Pakistan landed Saturday at Stockholm's Arlanda airport because of a bomb threat on board, airport and police officials said.
The pilot decided to land the Boeing 777 after Canadian police received a tip that a passenger on board was carrying explosives, Stockholm police spokeswoman Sussie Illum said. The plane landed safely at Arlanda airport and was parked at the end of the landing strip as police prepared to remove the passenger.
"We are not evacuating the plane," Illum said. "We are going in to apprehend this person."
Bomb technicians were heading to the scene but police didn't see an immediate need to evacuate because the plane and the passengers had cleared security checks in Toronto, Illum said.
The plane was on its way from Toronto to Karachi, Pakistan, when the pilot requested permission to land in Stockholm, Arlanda airport spokesman Anders Bredfall said. The airport remained open to air traffic.

Re: PIA Boeing 777 lands in Sweden after bomb threat
Yes this is on of the most comfortable flight for KHI people. Direct YYZ-KHI and unlike late night arrival this flight arrived at evening time.
Another news says that some one in plane have made this threat, must be prisioned.
STOCKHOLM (Reuters) – A plane with 273 passengers on board flying from Canada to Pakistan has been diverted to Sweden after a bomb threat on board, Swedish news agency TT quoted the airport as saying.
TT quoted the airport spokesman as saying that plane was diverted after a man on board made a bomb threat. The airport spokesman was not immediately available to give further details.

Re: PIA Boeing 777 lands in Sweden after bomb threat
According to latest news reports:
* A woman had informed about presence of a passenger with explosives aboard the aircraft sometime after take-off. The news reports do not clarify how the woman gave this information and to which authority. Probably authorities in Canada received phone call from this woman. The aircraft was near or in Swedish air space when the aircraft received bomb threat, according to news reports.
* A suspect person from the aircraft has been taken into custody for questioning by Swedish authorities at Stockholm airport.
* Aircraft has been evacuated.
* Prime Minister has taken notice of the incident and sought details from PIA officials.

did you know about the news? Im guessing not right? So it is breaking news as it was sourced from the websites. And why are you singling me out on this, I guess you either love following my posts or are under the false impression that I always do this? No need to get personal pal.
But thanks for the journalism lesson....
Just stick to the topic at hand...

According to latest reports:
* Security authorities have not found any explosives from the suspect who was taken into custody for questioning at Stockholm airport.
* Passengers luggage/baggage being searched at the moment.
So far, looks like it was hoax bomb call.

Nothing special found in your post, why should i love your post, it is more of self flattering statement from your side.All i am saying is that you habitually post incident with breaking News, which is not necessary every time.
Now lets back to topic.

Re: PIA Boeing 777 lands in Sweden after bomb threat
The aircraft in video footage looks like PIA Boeing 777-240LR (AP-BGY) because it has small Pakistan flag painted behind the last cabin door.
Accoding to latest reports, a Canadian of Pakistani origin has been taken into custody from the aircraft by Swedish authorities for questioning.
The aircraft has been evacuated and all passengers have been taken out of the aircraft which has been parked on a remote place at Stockholm Airport.
No explosives found so far.
Here are video grabs.

Re: PIA Boeing 777 lands in Sweden after bomb threat
What the captain may have announced in the cabin as they prepared for an unscheduled landing?
Did he announce a bomb threat or hide it from the passengers and cabin crew?

Re: PIA Boeing 777 lands in Sweden after bomb threat
^ I think to prevent panic among passengers crew do not say they are landing due to bomb threat.
Most probably some other reason like for example diversion for technical reasons is given to passengers in such cases.
After safe evacuation of passengers I guess passengers are informed about real situation and reason for landing.
However it will be good to know under such situation (bomb threat) what sort of announcement is made in cabin by crew before landing.
