TEHRAN, May 31 (Reuters) - Security personnel defused a homemade bomb found on an airplane during a domestic flight in Iran late on Saturday, the semi-official Fars news agency reported on Sunday.

The device was defused after the Kish Air plane with 131 passengers made an emergency landing in the southwestern city of Ahvaz, Fars said. (Editing by Jon Boyle)
