Ryanair has filed lawsuits against unknown Twitter users who it claims have threatened to blow up its planes. The LA Daily News reported that one tweet threatened to commit a major terror attack in the UK.

The tweet apparently read, "hello Ryanair, you have 15 minutes before I commit the biggest terror attack the UK has even seen on one of your planes. Be ready."Another tweet said, "I HAVE A BOMB ON YOUR PLANE RYANAIR."Ryanair has filed an extortion suit in the Los Angeles Superior Court seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages against the Twitter users with the handles Stencill, Gunnexdog and FinestLands.The suit also asks for an injunction demanding the tweets are removed.A Ryanair spokesman said yesterday that the company did not comment on pending legal cases.
