In the murky world in international security we may never know the nature of the threat that cause this plane to be grounded.

According to both news report, the GRC or AC decided to keep the passengers on the plane for 6h (from 22h30 to 4ham) after an bomb scare which was proven to be false after they checked the plane (at 4ham).
Of course, a lot of passengers are angry to have been stuck in a plane with a potential bomb for that long.
