NEW DELHI (AP) " A section of the cargo terminal at New Delhi's international airport was cordoned off Sunday after a suspected radioactive leak, but officials later said the radiation posed no danger to people and called off the emergency. The leak at Indira Gandhi International Airport was suspected to have occurred from a package containing cancer medicine that had arrived as cargo on an Air France plane, said Atul Garg, New Delhi's fire chief. Workers at the cargo terminal had to evacuate the building while a disaster management team investigated the nature of the radioactive material. The cargo terminal is located about 2 kilometers (1 mile) from the airport's passenger area. He said the package was meant for a New Delhi hospital's cancer unit.
