What did BBC's Paul Moss say about the bomb threats that diverted flights across Europe?

Paul Moss reported that over Sunday to Tuesday, flights bound for Warsaw, Sofia, Murcia, Rome, Vienna and a London flight landing in Budapest were hit by bomb threats. Italy scrambled air force jets to escort a flight into Rome. No explosives were found on any plane. Moss said a coincidence was unlikely but the link was unclear: coordination was possible, and such threats also inspire copycats.

• Warsaw's Modlin airport had to close for a while after a diverted flight was searched.
• Moss tied the mood to recent cyber attacks on supermarket fridges in several European countries, which prompted emergency meetings at Italian intelligence and the European Commission.
