STOCKHOLM: Denmark’s second largest airport reopened late Saturday after a man was arrested in connection with a bomb threat that forced its evacuation, police said.
During the search in Billund airport in central Denmark, police arrested a man in his thirties and removed an object “likely to contain explosives.”
Chemical tests will be carried out for confirmation.
Danish police arrested the man after he “himself informed the police at the airport that the object he had dropped off contained explosives,” they said in a statement.
The airport reopened at 7:00 p.m. (0500 GMT), but several flights were canceled or delayed during its closure.
Police are also investigating whether there is a link between this bomb threat and the bombing of an ATM in Billund at around 4:00 am on Saturday.
Billund airport is near the headquarters of the manufacturer of Lego toy bricks and the Legoland theme park.

Pope Leo warns of ‘shrinking’ freedom of expression in Western countries
- Pope Leo warns of ‘shrinking’ freedom of expression in Western countries
VATICAN CITY: Pope Leo warned on Friday that freedom of expression is “rapidly shrinking” in Western countries, and urged the right to conscientious objection for people who refuse military service or for doctors who refuse to perform abortions or euthanasia.
“It is painful to see how, especially in the West, the space for genuine freedom of expression is rapidly shrinking,” the pope said in an address to diplomats accredited to the Vatican.
“A new Orwellian-style language is developing which, in an attempt to be increasingly inclusive, ends up excluding those who do not conform to the ideologies that are fueling it,” said Leo, the first US pope.
