Copenhagen

: Danish police evacuated one of two terminals at Copenhagen's Kastrup Airport on Wednesday because of a suspicious bag though no threats have been received, police said.

-"Terminal 3 has been evacuated after a suspicious suitcase was found at around 12 noon. We had received no direct threats,-" police spokesman Steen Hansen told AFP.

-"A bomb-sniffing dog is at the scene, and all train traffic to the airport has been halted,-" said Hansen.

The incident came just hours after Danish police raised the country's threat level by one notch to the second-highest level, citing the elevated risk of a terrorist attack after last week's Paris attacks.
