AMSTERDAM’S Schiphol Airport was partially evacuated and military police have arrested a man after a report of a “suspicious situation”.Spokesman Alfred Ellwanger says the man was arrested Tuesday night and an operation is ongoing to search an area where buses stop outside the airport’s main terminal.
Ellwanger gave no details on why exactly the man was arrested or his identity.Asked if the situation involved a threat to the airport, Ellwanger said, “it’s too early to say.” Schiphol spokeswoman Danielle Timmer said that flights to and from the airport were not believed to be affected.The Netherlands has been on high alert since the attacks on Brussels airport and subway last month.
