Boston— A suspicious package has forced the evacuation of the cargo area of Boston's Logan International Airport.

Airport spokesman Phil Orlandella says the package with a Nigerian address was found Tuesday, causing federal officials to order an evacuation of the area.

He said agents in bomb suits are investigating the discovery in the Delta Cargo building.

Orlandella says a K-9 dog doing routine security picked up a scent from the building, prompting the investigation.

He says no passenger flights were affected since the cargo building is about a mile away from passenger gates.

No further information was immediately available.

Bomb-sniffing dogs alerted authorities to a suspicious package on Tuesday in the Delta Cargo building at Boston Logan International Airport, forcing the evacuation of the building, airport officials said.

The package was examined by the state police bomb squad Tuesday afternoon, according to Matthew Brelis of Massport, the airport authority. X-rays indicated that the contents were harmless.

Though the incident took place on one of the busiest days of the year for air travel, no scheduled commercial flights were affected, because the evacuated cargo building stands about a mile away from the airport’s passenger terminals.

Concerns over the security of air cargo remain elevated after the discovery last month of explosive devices apparently shipped from Yemen that were bound for the United States. The improvised bombs, built by tampering with printer cartridges, were found in air cargo passing through airports in Great Britain and Dubai, setting off an international terror scare that led to searches of cargo planes in Newark and Philadelphia and a delivery truck in Brooklyn; no devices were found in those locations. The incident prompted a general tightening of security rules governing air cargo.
