Dublin airport evacuated due to suspect package

Dublin, Jul 7: Dublin airport was partly evacuated today after the third reported security scare there so far this week.

''There's been a partial evacuation due to a suspect package in the arrivals hall,'' an airport spokesman said without giving further details.

The airport was also evacuated on Tuesday after a man walked into the arrivals hall saying he had a bomb. The package he was carrying was later found to contain only clothes and newspapers.

There was also a security alert on Wednesday although on that occasion the airport was not evacuated.
