Cypriot airport shut in bomb scare
From correspondents in Nicosia

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)

Amazing isn't it? How they uncover so many of these devices but they are never usable, operable, ignitable, viable or connected to terrorism in any way.
