A Georgian citizen who allegedly set
fire to an office under the control tower of Rome's Ciampino
airport on Wednesday has been arrested by police.
The man, who arrived in Italy a few days ago, does not have a
criminal record, investigative sources said.
Air traffic was temporarily suspended at Ciampino airport as a
consequence of the small fire and tower control personnel were
evacuated, said Italian air traffic management authority ENAV.
Nobody was injured in the fire, which damaged electrical
equipment in the office where it broke out but not the control
tower, firefighters said.
Police are investigating the incident.
