Bomb squad and FBI are called to LAX after threat is made about an American Eagle aircraft arriving from Houston

A bomb squad and the FBI have been called to Los Angeles International Airport after a threat was made about an

incoming aircraft.

Images from the scene show several emergency vehicles parked a distance away from an American Eagle plane stopped on the tarmac while officials examined the wheel wells.

According to CBS the plane was traveling to LAX from Houston before it was stopped on the tarmac and moved to the far southwestern corner of the airport to be examined.

Armed officers were seen making their way on to the aircraft along with a bomb-sniffing dog in order to check for any device stowed away on board

Footage from the scene showed a black armored vehicle approaching the plane before officials began checking the wheels of the aircraft.

Aircraft workers later brought a set of stairs up to the aircraft to allow a bomb dog on board to check for traces of explosives. Details of the threat were not immediately available.

Earlier in the day police were called to George Bush Intercontinental Airport to another bomb threat about a different aircraft.

Officers investigated a possible bomb threat against a Delta Air Lines plane, a police spokesman said, but no device was found on the plane.

Bill Begley, spokesman for the Houston Airport System, said the plane has since departed the airport.

'It is a non-specific threat,' he said. 'We worked with the airline and with TSA to pull the passengers and baggage off the plane and re-screen them.'
