infomatique, thanks for getting this story out so quickly. It will now show up on the home page for four hours. If new developments justify it, I'll renew this flag for another cycle.

From BBC:
"Spanish police evacuated Ibiza's airport after a Basque newspaper received an anonymous bomb threat.
Police destroyed a suspicious bag, which was found to be harmless.
The building was cleared after Gara, a newspaper which has been used for claims by Basque separatist group Eta, said it had received a warning.
Thousands of passengers were moved to safety and flights were grounded for several hours, in what has now been called a false alarm."
