London's Luton airport evacuated after bomb scare
Pakistan Times
Wire Service

LONDON: A controlled explosion was carried out on a car outside London's Luton Airport on Thursday night after a bomb alert caused part of the airport to be evacuated and disrupted a number of flights, police said.

Everything was getting back to normal by 11.30 p.m. (2330 GMT), however, after the bomb squad declared the area safe.

"It's all over," said a Bedfordshire Police spokesman.

"We had a bomb scare," he said, noting that a man had called police with what turned out to be a false alarm.

As a precautionary measure, passengers and staff were evacuated from the departure terminal and a cordon put up. No flights were allowed to depart until the all clear was given.●
