| Terror Alert: Flights Suspended Sky
News All flights in Pakistan have been suspended after a string of bomb warnings at airports across the country. The country's civil aviation authority is said to have instituted a state of emergency. Benazir Bhutto International Airport has been evacuated after a phone call saying the building would be blown up. Sky's Asia correspondent Alex Crawford said there had been at least two separate threats, and the country was in a state of "high anxiety". She said the first threat came in a call to Pakistan International Airline's call centre. The second threat was made to the media warning of attacks at airports across the country. Earlier, the group claiming responsibility for a bomb attack on the Marriott Hotel in the capital warned of more attacks. Saturday's truck bombing left 53 people dead and more than 260 wounded. |
