(KCBS and AP)- Part of San Francisco International Airport was evacuated this morning after security guards found a bag they thought might contain explosives.

KCBS reporter Ron Naso, at SFO say a bomb squad was called and thousands of passengers were told to evacuate a portion of the north terminal around 8:30am.

The bag was left unattended near United Airlines' ticket counter. An X-ray showed possible explosives inside.

Heard on the radio that people were being let back in by 10:30 a.m., but the vehicle traffic around the terminal was halted.
