Italy airport closes after migrant riot

None

An airport in Sardinia was closed for three hours on Monday after illegal migrants being detained there staged a riot and some managed to flee onto the airstrip, police said.

 

The escapees were quickly apprehended, the Elmas airport resumed operations normally and the situation returned to calm, said Giuseppe Giardina, head of the Cagliari police commissioner's staff.
