DUBLIN — A Delta Air Lines flight bound for the United States made an emergency landing Monday in Dublin because a passenger left a cell phone plugged into a socket in one of the aircraft’s restrooms, police and aviation authorities said.

Dublin Airport officials later cleared the Boeing 767-300 traveling from Istanbul, Turkey, to continue its journey to New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport after determining that the suspected bomb was just an unattended mobile phone and charger.
