Bomb squad called to John F. Kennedy airport
Print Edition
POLICE evacuated a terminal at New York City’s John F. Kennedy International Airport yesterday as they investigated a report of a suspicious package, authorities said.
A Homeland Security K-9 unit was checking into an unattended bag around 8:30am in the departure area of Terminal Five, said Joe Pentangelo, a spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which oversees the airport.
Pentangelo said the bomb squad had responded and roadways to the area were temporarily closed. The package was cleared and the terminal resumed normal operations.
After the Istanbul attack, armed patrols were deployed at the three main airports in the New York metropolitan region.
