Police reopen Copenhagen airport terminal following bomb scare

COPENHAGEN -- Danish police have called off a bomb scare at Copenhagen's international airport that prompted an hour-long evacuation of hundreds of passengers.

Police rushed Wednesday to Terminal 3, the main arrival and departure terminal for the Nordic region's hub, after "a suspicious bag" had been spotted.

However, it was "an overheard conversation about a bomb" that sparked the evacuation, police said on Twitter. Bomb experts, fire trucks, police and ambulances were seen parked outside.

Commuter train and subway lines to the airport also were briefly halted. The airport said Terminal 3 was reopened but check-ins had been moved to Terminal 2 and delays were to be expected.
