Air France jet searched in LA for explosives disappears during exercise

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Authorities searched an Air France airliner at Los Angeles International Airport early Saturday for explosives that disappeared during a French police training exercise at an airport outside Paris, officials said.
No explosives were found on Flight 70, which arrived late Friday after a flight from Charles de Gaulle Airport.
Three other airliners that had left Charles de Gaulle were searched at New York City's John F. Kennedy International, said Transportation Security Administration spokeswoman Nora Brewer.

French military police had been using the explosive material to train dogs to detect bombs, but they lost track of a piece of luggage containing an unspecified type and amount of explosive, authorities said.
The 362 passengers and crew members on Flight 70 were evacuated and screened.
