Airport evacuated after bomb threat

AN AIRPORT that was the starting point for one of the September 11 hijackers was evacuated for several hours after receiving a bomb threat signed under the alleged terrorist’s name.

Police found nothing and Portland airport was reopened yesterday.

The airport was evacuated on Tuesday night after police received a hang-up emergency call shortly at about 9:30pm that led them to a pay phone at a strip mall where they found a note signed by “Mohamed Atta” warning that the airport would be destroyed at 11pm.
