BOSTON -- 7News has learned that the FBI has interrogated at least two flight attendants who were on a plane Wednesday where a written bomb threat was found.

The American Airlines plane and luggage were searched by police and a bomb-sniffing dog at an isolated area at Boston's Logan International Airport.

Flight 1318 arrived from Dallas at about 1:45 p.m. Wednesday and was scheduled to head to Miami about a half hour later.

During the pre-boarding process, a flight attendant found a note that read, "Bomb on board, Boston-Miami," on a bathroom wall.

Authorities found nothing suspicious on the plane.

Passengers were transferred to another plane and continued to Miami.

The FBI is investigating a male and female flight attendant in connection with the threatening note.

7News also learned that the flight attendants being investigated were on a Miami-Boston flight two weeks ago where a similar bomb threat was found mid-flight.
