Suspicion over luggage shuts down airport
The Associated Press
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - The Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport was
closed for more than an hour Thursday morning after bomb-sniffing dogs
alerted police officers to a suspicious piece of luggage, the authorities
said.
The luggage was abandoned in the American Airlines terminal and an X-ray
check determined that it contained an unknown mass with connected cables,
said the airport's security director. A police anti-bomb unit determined
that there was no danger.
The airport reopened after a woman claimed the luggage, the police said.
