Flights Delayed Due to Bomb Threat at Dulles

A bomb threat at Dulles International Airport Monday night caused multiple flight delays.

The threat seemed to focus on two daily parking garages, and was received about 9 p.m. Police began searching the garages; more than two hours after that, the two daily garages remained closed.

Earlier, police had investigated terminals, but nothing was found. Passengers reported seeing bomb-sniffing dogs in terminals during the search.

Monday evening [this evening], MWAA had asked all airlines not to approach terminal gates because of a security threat, according to a United Airlines spokesperson. Several departing flights were delayed.

MWAA denied passengers' reports of being told to evacuate at least one plane.
