YANGON, Nov. 29 (Xinhua) -- The Myanmar authorities have removed a bomb threat at the Yangon International Airport, according to local police on Tuesday.

The four suspected soft-drink bottles found on Tuesday morning at Terminal-1 of the airport are not chemical bombs, and they are filled with some traditional liquid medicine, the police said.

The bottles put in a green plastic bag and left on a desk near the ticket counter of Terminal-1 were found at about 9:30 a.m. local time by an airline staff member.

The bottles are filled with concentrated liquid in yellow color.

A series of explosions caused by home-made chemical bombs had occurred in Yangon regional government office, two giant retailers and South Dagon township Immigration office during this month.

Three suspects who were involved in two blasts at Yangon regional government office building have been arrested on Nov. 26, with materials used for making chemical bombs.
