Marseille airport evacuated because of suspicious package

Passengers travelling to the city before the heavily-anticipated match between two of the tournament favourites have been cleared out of the airport.
The cause of the evacuation is unknown at this time but early reports suggest that a “suspicious package” has been discovered.
Armed guards are believed to be patrolling the area.
The city played host to England’s opening game of the tournament against Russia.
It was the scene of horrific violence as rival fans clashed before the match.
French authorities will have hoped for less drama off the pitch before Thursday’s semi-final.
It is a worrying reminder of the danger surrounding the tournament – possibly the most threatening ever.
The airport is just outside the city centre and is the fifth busiest in France.
France remains to be on high alert following the attacks in Paris in November 2015.
