"Austin Bergstrom Airport Police Investigate Suspicious Package"

ASSOCIATED PRESS

AUSTIN (AP) --

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Police later determined the package, which was found abandoned by a security employee about 8:15 a.m. at a United curbside check-in, contained a homemade model airplane refueler, said airport spokeswoman Leslie Schneiweiss.

The package included a battery, battery pack, pump and a container to hold fuel, she said.

''So, obviously, that caused reason for suspicion,'' she said. ''They don't know who left it or why it was left.''"

"Truck chase ends at airport
Man drove past planes before smashing into fences"


Friday, July 1, 2005; Posted: 10:43 a.m. EDT (14:43 GMT)


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "(CNN) -- A man who led police on a freeway chase in Phoenix, Arizona, was apprehended Thursday after driving onto the taxiway at the city's Sky Harbor airport and crashing a pickup truck through two fences, officials said.

Sgt. Randy Force of the Phoenix Police Department said officers shot at the suspect in two separate incidents during the chase, but the man was not hurt.

He was slightly injured when police vehicles hit the allegedly stolen truck to finally bring it to a stop, Force said, but is being treated and will soon be released to police custody.

The sergeant said the man will be booked "on a number of charges."

The incident began when a man who left his truck running at a gas station reported the vehicle stolen, Force said."
