An American Airlines flight from Los Angeles (LAX) to London was delayed after a passenger on board alerted crew members about the Wi-Fi hotspot with a terror-themed name on Sunday.

A passenger on Flight 136 spotted a Wi-Fi network named "Al-Qaida Free Terror Network" and notified a flight attendant. The plane returned to the gate terminal before takeoff due to the incident, ABC7 reported.

According to some reports, all passengers were kept on board for several hours during the investigation by authorities. The incident delayed the flight by more than 17 hours.

"We're sorry for the inconvenience. A customer reported a concern. We're delaying the flight out of an abundance of caution," the airline responded to a Flight 136 passenger who complained on twitter about the delay.

Custom and Border Protection agents, the Department of Homeland Security and air marshals said the network didn't originate from any of the passengers on the flight, NBC News reported.

"No crime was committed and no further action will be taken," Los Angeles Federal authorities said.

The flight, which was supposed to depart LAX at 7:50 P.M Sunday, was rescheduled to depart at 1 P.M. Monday, American Airlines officials said.
