The evacuation of about 1,000 passengers began just after 2 p.m. local time after the airport received a call from a man who said that three bombs were in the airport's parking lot, according to the website of The Houston Chronicle, a local English newspaper.
The male caller told the airport that he had left luggage with the bombs at the airport and the airport was about to blow up, a police spokeswoman was quoted as saying.
Twenty-five buses were sent to the airport to help evacuate the passengers and the buses were used as temporary shelter. Firefighters also rushed to the airport, and more than a dozen of San Antonio Fire Department units, including a bomb squad and a hazardous materials team, were also at the scene to investigate the incident.
