BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - The terminal at Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport in the U.S. has been evacuated because of a threat.
The airport's Facebook page says the terminal has been evacuated Sunday because of a threat, but it doesn't elaborate.
FBI spokesman Paul Daymond says the agency's bomb technicians and local police are investigating.
The Alabama airport's website says several flights into the airport are being diverted.
Police spokesman Johnny Williams says he doesn't have any details on what prompted the evacuation. A call and email to the Birmingham Airport Authority wasn't immediately returned.
The Birmingham airport is a small regional one with more than 100 flights a day.
