Nothing on any news sites yet (so it may yet be twaddle!), but a friend of mine's just arrived into Charles de Gaulle in the middle of a bomb alert... And she's just texted me to say the bomb's gone off!

Erk!

Ahh the detonation was a controlled detonation apparently - so nobody hurt (thank god!)

Bomb disposal squad has apparently disappeared already, and the Army's moving everybody on. My lady friend is already out of the airport and into a Taxi!

Probably the baggage handlers, want a payrise otherwise they blow it up.

Same happened to me 2 years ago at CDG - quite scary when it went 'pop'!

Might also have been the bomb disposal workers who planted it, no pay rise and they don't defuse it.
