Rome airport closed in bomb scare
Rome's second airport, Ciampino, has been closed because of a bomb scare, airport authorities say.
Flights were diverted from the airport after an anonymous caller said there was a bomb on board a cargo plane, officials and local media said.
The airport mainly handles charter and low-cost airline flights.
Air traffic was sent instead to the city's larger Fiumicino airport, also named Leonardo Da Vinci airport, officials said.
Explosives experts were searching the airport, news reports said.
The closure took place shortly before 0900 local time (0800 GMT).
