- Explosion Near Atlanta's Peachtree Airport  -

At approximately 1215 EDT, a bomb of undetermined size exploded in the
immediate area of Atlanta, Georgia's Dekalb-Peachtree Airport (PDK).
Information is very limited at this point and it is unclear where the
bomb detonated. No information is yet available on damage or casualties.
The airport has been closed until further notice and all offices on the
airport premises have been warned not to open any letters or packages
for the near future.

Air Security International will continue to monitor the situation and
will update this event in tomorrow’s HOT SPOTS.



Does any one else have any more information?

Seriously, a bomb went off in Genoa Italy today, too.  The G-8 summit is being held and security there is out of control.  Globalization protestors are not welcome.

Nothing on CNN, Headline, or Fox.  Couldnt have been more than a pipe bomb then.
