A man suspected of involvement in a bomb threat at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport has been arrested, Dutch military police said today.
"He has been put under control and arrested," a military police spokesman told Dutch TV station RTL 7.
Terminals 1 and 2 were evacuated and sealed off after police received a call from a man claiming he was in the airport with a bomb.
A bomb squad and police carrying automatic weapons soon arrived, and police later reported the man suspected of making the threat had been arrested.
Witnesses saw seven unmarked vehicles racing away from the departure hall with drivers wearing black, SWAT-style masks over their faces.
Some flights were delayed following the bomb scare, and hundreds of passengers stood outside the terminals while ambulances and fire trucks waited nearby.
Schiphol is one of Europe's busiest airports, handling about 45 million passengers per year.
Train traffic, which runs under the airport in a tunnel, was not affected, a spokesman for rail network operator ProRail said.
