A bomb threat forced authorities in China's remote northwestern Xinjiang Autonomous Region to bar a plane from landing in the city of Urumqi, the Chinese state-run news agency Xinhua reported Sunday.

Citing police sources, Xinhua said the plane -- which was en route from Afghanistan -- initially had been reported as hijacked. It returned to Afghanistan, where it landed, Xinhua reported.

Aviation authorities issued an order prohibiting the plane from landing in Urumqi, the news agency said. However, police and emergency vehicles had rushed to the airport to respond if necessary.

Xinjiang was the scene of clashes last month between Han Chinese and the province's Uyghur population, a predominantly Muslim ethnic group.

Paperwork, not bomb, turns back plane

A China-bound Afghan passenger flight was sent back to Afghanistan because it had failed to obtain the proper documents required to land, not because of a bomb or hijack threat, an Afghan air traffic source and airport police source said.

China's Xinhua news agency had reported that Chinese authorities suspected the flight had been threatened by a bomb. But the air traffic source in Kabul and the airport police source in Kandahar said there was no such threat.

The plane, from Afghanistan's KamAir airline, had departed from Kabul but landed in the southern city of Kandahar on its return because of high winds in Kabul, the sources said.

Afghanistan plane scheduled to Urumqi bomb threatened

URUMQI, Aug. 9 (Xinhua) -- An Afghanistan plane scheduled to Urumqi of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region was bomb threatened Sunday, according to armed police sources in Xinjiang.

The sources previously told Xinhua the plane was hijacked.

The Urumqi airport has received an order from the aviation authorities to deny the plane's landing in the city.

Armed police and emergency vehicles, however, have rushed to the airport for emergency response.
