January 6th 2011

Law enforcement officials have closed about half the main terminal at Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia after a suspicious package was discovered near the luggage claim area.

Airport spokeswoman Courtney Mickalonis says that the package was found about 4 p.m. on Thursday evening. She says that the flights continue to operate at the international airport.

Mickalonis also stated that the suspicious package doesn't necessarily appear to be similar to packages found at Maryland state government buildings that ignited on Thursday.
