A terminal at New York's John F Kennedy International Airport was briefly evacuated after the discovery of a suspicious package, officials said. The package was found at 1020 local time (1520 GMT) but the city's bomb squad found it to be harmless and containing cologne. The evacuation affected the American Airlines terminal.
New York and New Jersey port authority spokesman Steve Coleman said authorities had taken "a number of measures as we always do to respond to security situations immediately". Terminal operations returned to normal within an hour and no flights were affected, officials said.
