Bomb threat prompts Alaska airport evacuation
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A terminal at Alaska's main airport was evacuated early Sunday after a passenger made reference to a bomb in luggage, officials said.
The terminal at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport was cleared as authorities searched through baggage, airport manager John Parrott said.
He said the incident began a little after midnight (1 a.m. PDT) when the man, who was traveling with two male companions, made a reference to a bomb in a bag that had been checked into luggage.
