Amsterdam - Dutch military police arrested a suspect Monday following a bomb threat at Amsterdam's Schipol Airport, but could not confirm whether he had issued the threat, dutch media reported.
The airport's terminals 1 and 2, used for international flights, were evacuated while military police investigated the threat, Dutch news agency ANP reported.
'There was a bomb threat and as a precaution we have evacuated departure halls 1 and 2,' police sources told ANP.
Train traffic to and from the airport's underground station was not affected by the evacuation.
