Amsterdam's Schiphol airport evacuated amid bomb threat

Dutch police say they have arrested a man who locked himself in a toilet and claimed to have a bomb at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport.

Parts of the airport have been evacuated and shut down since about 11:30 (10:30 GMT).

The bomb squad and scores of police are at the scene. The two main international terminals, one and two, have been evacuated.

Schiphol is one of Europe's busiest airports.

Military police spokesman Rob van Kapel said the man had been arrested and did not pose any threat.

"It's good news, so that we at Schiphol will shortly go back to doing what we're all here for.''

Dutch border police are investigating whether the suspect had explosives in his luggage, reports the BBC's Anna Holligan in The Hague.

The airport's website is showing a number of flights being delayed after the threat was received, our correspondent says.

Live television streams showed police with guns, dogs and balaclavas outside the building, she says.

On 25 December 2009, a Nigerian student smuggled explosives on to a flight from Schiphol to Detroit in the US after flying into Amsterdam from Lagos.

He has pleaded guilty to trying to blow up the Northwest Airlines jet he boarded and is due to be sentenced on Thursday. He faces life imprisonment.

Da FCO stiamo spostando su altri scali i passeggeri KLM che da AMS proseguiranno su destinazioni europee. Lo scalo è comunque aperto.
