New York, Aug 1 (DPA) Flights in many parts of the US were disrupted after New York’s La Guadia airport was put out of action for three hours Saturday following a bomb threat apparently by a drunk man.
Police said the man claimed to have a bomb in his bag and threatened security staff. Once the incident was over, the bag was found to contain only wires and batteries.
Because the airport serves inland destinations, flights to many parts of the country were expected to be disrupted for some time because of the knock-on effect of delays.
