NEW YORK (FOX 5 NY) - Officials at Atlanta's airport -- the world's busiest -- gave the 'all-clear' on Wednesday after evacuating public areas of the domestic terminal while police investigated a suspicious package.
Airport officials said bomb-sniffing dogs had indicated "a positive hit" while checking an unattended bag in the South domestic terminal around 9:41 a.m. They said passengers were allowed to re-enter the terminal less than 30 minutes later.
It is not clear what the contents of the suspicious package were.
The evacuation comes one day after attacks at an airport and subway system in Brussels, Belgium, killed at least 34 people, including three suicide bombers, and injured 270 others.
