Manchester Airport Terminal Evacuated After Suspected Bag Found  

London: One of three terminals at Britain's Manchester Airport was evacuated on Wednesday after a suspicious bag was found by the authorities.

The airport staff said it was conducting a "precautionary evacuation" of Terminal 3 "due to a potential issue with a bag." Greater Manchester Police force said a bomb-disposal team was being sent to the scene.

Photos and video footage showed hundreds of people milling around outside the terminal. The two other terminals at the northwest England airport remained open, and airplanes continued to take off and land after the evacuation.

The airport advised passengers due to fly from Terminal 3 to go to Terminal 1 instead.
