SECURITY ALERT AT AIRPORT
Los Angeles International Airport was shut down for more than four hours on Saturday after a reported security breach, but officials said no terrorism was suspected.
Four terminals were evacuated after a person bypassed security, according to airport and federal officials.
A separate incident at the airport's international terminal involved a torch in a bag that blew up, injuring a screener's hand, according to a Department of Homeland Security official in Washington.
"At this time we do not believe that there is any terrorism nexus related to these incidents," the official said.
The terminals were evacuated at around 3.30pm British time. It is America's Labour Day weekend, one of the busiest travel holidays of the year.
Airport spokesman Harold Johnson said earlier. "We have a partial evacuation of terminals 6, 7 and 8, while we're investigating a possible security breach."
Johnson said passengers on arriving flights would be bussed to a separate area.
Authorities closed the entire central terminal and blocked all access roads leading to the airport.
The airport, which has eight domestic terminals and one dedicated to international flight, was the third-busiest for passenger traffic in the US in 2003 and the fifth-busiest in the world, according to the Airports Council International.
