DAKAR, Oct 19 (Reuters) - A Delta Airlines Boeing 767

aircraft bound for New York made an emergency stop due to a

technical incident at the Blaise Diagne International Airport in

Senegal on Saturday, the West African nation's transport

ministry said.

The pilot was able to bring the plane, which carried 216

passengers, to a safe stop and no injuries were recorded, the

ministry said in a statement.

"The plane, during takeoff, performed an acceleration

maneuver followed by an emergency stop due to a technical

incident," it said.

The incident occurred a day after the U.S. Federal Aviation

Administration said it would open a new safety review into

Boeing ( BA ) following an in-flight emergency in January.

Senegal's national civil aviation agency and its Bureau of

Investigations and Analysis will investigate the incident, it

said.
