Rome's Ciampino airport reopened after bomb scare

Rome’s second-largest airport, Ciampino, was closed for about one hour today for a bomb threat, and reopened after a search did not find any explosive devices, airport officials said.

Ciampino airport, which is used mainly by low-cost airlines, was closed to air traffic shortly before 9am local time after officials received an anonymous phone call saying that an explosive device was on a cargo plane, police at the airport said.
