The airport had been put on high alert from June 27 night after the Air Traffic Control Tower received four calls threatening that terrorists would attack it with AK 47s. While the caller first said the attack would be carried out by Al Qeada, later the caller said Mujahideen would attack the airport.
While one call was traced to Saudi Arabia, three others were internet generated calls, Nair said, adding, all the calls were suspected to have been made by the same person.
