Scare at Heathrow

LONDON: London’s Heathrow airport briefly suspended departures from one of its terminals yesterday due to what police said was a report of a luggage X-ray having found a suspicious item.

An airport spokesperson said the suspension had been caused by “a security issue” but did not elaborate.

“We are working with Heathrow terminal 3 after a report of a suspicious item detected by an X-ray of luggage,” she said.

“Departures were pended for a short time.” sus-
