Airport security unchanged after bin Laden's death

by isleofman.com 2nd May 2011

It was business as usual at Ronaldsway Airport today (Monday) despite worldwide fears of terror attacks following the death of Osama bin Laden.

The Al Qaeda leader was killed late last night after more than a decade on the run.

The news immediately prompted celebrations in New York and Washington, and was welcomed by United Kingdom Prime Minister David Cameron

But there are fears of a retaliation attack, and UK Foreign Secretary William Hague has ordered the country's embassies around the world to review their security.

He also says Britain should be 'even more vigilant' than usual over the threat of terror attacks in the coming days.

A spokesperson at Ronaldsway Airport said the warning did not mean travellers flying from the Isle of Man would be subjected to increased security checks.
