Antwerp station opens after bomb threat

Police reopened the main railway station in Belgium’s port city of Antwerp yesterday after the building and surrounding streets were cleared due to a bomb threat, the force said.

The shutdown caused severe delays on the high-speed rail link between Paris and Amsterdam, operator Thalys said on its website. It also affected local train services.

An anonymous caller phoned police in the neighboring Netherlands to say a bomb would go off in Antwerp Central Station, then hung up, a spokeswoman for the city’s police force said.

A sweep of the premises with sniffer dogs revealed no suspicious packages or people. Police were investigating who made the phone call.
