Bomb Threat on Shakira's Plane

Filed in archive Latin Music on July 11, 2007

Shakira must have been scared to death today, when she was evacuated from her plane in Turkey, after the authorities received a bomb threat.

Shakira was traveling from Germany - where her participation was a big hit in the Live Earth Hamburg, despite the rain - to Istanbul, Turkey, where she had scheduled one of the last concerts of the Oral Fixation tour.

Antonio de la Rua was with Shakira on the plane, but nobody seems to be worried about him! :P

After "escaping" from the plane, Shakira and Antonio went to Antalaya, a beach in the Turkish Mediterranean coast - to wash off the fear and the stress, I guess. The authorities ultimately found out that the threat was false and that there weren't any explosives on the airplane.

Despite the scare, Shakira performed at the Kurucesme Arena, in Istanbul.

Once the Oral Fixation Tour reach it's end, Shakira will go to Hollywood, to film her first movie. We'll see how that goes.
