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."
