Bomb scare was a prank

[NewsWhore]

Police have arrested a 47-year old Carlos Espinal who allegedly called Las Americas International Airport (AILA) earlier this week saying there was a bomb on board one of the planes. Security officials searched the airport and all planes. Several flights were cancelled or postponed, but officials found no sign of any bomb. Espinal said he had heard of people making that type of prank call and had used a friend's phone to make the call. No word on Espinal's mental state was released or why he followed through with the prank. It is estimated that 800 people were affected by flight delays.
