Cypriot airport shut in bomb scare
From correspondents in Nicosia
May 19, 2004
PAPHOS International Airport in southwestern Cyprus was cordoned off and flights delayed for several hours today after a suspicious package, thought to be a bomb, triggered off a security alert, police said.
The busy airport, which mainly caters to tourists, was reopened after the package was discovered to be harmless, though it seemed to contain weapons parts.(snip)
(snip)He said the package contained several bullets, a device which looked like a bomb, a hand grenade lever, a small metal container with a flammable liquid inside, a small battery and an 'on-off' switch. None of the items were connected into a usable device.(snip)
