A spokeswoman for Spain's
airport authority, AENA, said Thursday it's not clear how the baby
ended up on the baggage belt for oversized luggage.
"The baby was on the
baggage carousel, but could not have gotten there alone. Someone had to
put the baby there. I don't know how the baby got there," said the
airport spokeswoman, who by custom is not identified.
The infant's mother, an
American woman, arrived at the airport late Wednesday on a flight from
London's Gatwick airport with her baby and another young child, the
spokeswoman said. The father, who is Canadian, was already there waiting
at the Alicante airport, she added.
