Reuters Reports..
- A large fire broke out at the military section of Berlin's Tegel airport on Thursday, prompting authorities to divert flights elsewhere.
A spokesman for Tegel airport said incoming flights were being diverted to Schoenefeld airport in the eastern part of the German capital because large clouds of smoke made landing difficult.
Police said the fire, whose cause was not known, posed no immediate danger to life and a large contingent of firemen was fighting it.
