It was not a priori a false alarm.
Perpignan airport (Pyrénées-Orientales) was evacuated this Tuesday morning after the X-ray detection of what could be explosives in cabin baggage.
According to France Bleu, the passenger who owned the luggage was due to board a Ryanair flight to Agadir, Morocco.
The owner of the luggage, an Italian, a former soldier, was arrested and placed in police custody.
We don't know his motivations.
According to our information, the deminers left Montpellier (Hérault) at 10:30 a.m. to intervene.
In total, according to France Bleu and L'Indépendant, around 200 people were evacuated.
