Atlanta airport partially closes after truck scare; no foul play

ATLANTA (AP) — Baggage claim and ticketing for part of Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport were closed for two hours Sunday while airport police investigated a suspicious rental truck parked on an airport loading curb, authorities said.
The north terminal’s baggage claim and ticketing area were closed between 8:45 and 10:30 a.m. Sunday after a bomb sniffing dog alerted police to the possibility of explosives inside an abandoned U-Haul truck parked on the curb next to the north terminal area, said Maj. Darryl Tolleson.

About 1,000 passengers deplaning at the airport had to wait to receive their luggage.

A bomb technician later found the truck contained some fireworks and nitroglycerin, which is what the dog had detected.
