JAKARTA - France-Swiss Basel-Mulhouse Airport was vacated and briefly closed on Friday, July 26, due to the threat of bombs, hours before the start of the Olympics opening ceremony in Paris.

"For security reasons, the terminal must be vacated," the airport said.

During the day, ibuka airport returns and flight operations will be continued in stages.

An air traffic watchdog at the airport told Reuters this is the seventh threat since last October.

"The Air France flight to Paris was postponed after the terminal building was vacated," Air France representatives told Reuters.

Hours earlier, saboteurs targeted France's high-speed TGV rail network with a series of coordinated measures that caused major disruption to several of the country's busiest rail lines ahead of the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics.
