Florida airport reopens after 5 shot dead
People stand in line as they wait for their flights at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International airport
Miami - Arab Today
Florida’s Fort Lauderdale International Airport was open again Saturday after a shooting rampage by an Iraq war veteran that killed five people, wounded eight, and sent thousands scrambling for safety.
Police identified the suspect as 26-year-old Esteban Santiago, who was in custody and being questioned by the FBI over the shooting that shut down the airport, a major gateway to the Caribbean and Latin America.
Santiago, who earlier complained that the CIA was forcing him to watch Daesh videos, allegedly opened fire randomly with a semi-automatic handgun Friday shortly before 1:00 p.m. (1800 GMT) in the baggage claim area of Terminal 2.
The Fort Lauderdale airport announced at 5:00 am (1000 GMT) Saturday via Twitter that they were again open for business, but urged passengers to check with their airlines.
