Arrest after Amsterdam airport evacuated

Airport police at Amsterdam's busy Schiphol Airport said they had arrested a man who locked himself in a toilet and claimed to have a bomb Monday morning.

Parts of the airport remained evacuated Monday afternoon. Spokesman Rob van Kapel said the man had been arrested and did not pose any threat.

On Christmas Day, 2009, a Nigerian student managed to smuggle explosives onto a flight from Schiphol to Detroit after flying into Amsterdam from Lagos.
