NEW DELHI, Dec 5 (Reuters) - Operations appeared normal at New Delhi's international airport early on Friday, a Reuters witness at the scene said, despite an earlier report of a shootout there.

The Indian NDTV channel reported that two sharp sounds had sparked a security scare at the airport. But nothing was found after police swept through the terminal, and normal operations had resumed.

The BBC website, quoting airport officials, had earlier reported that Indian security forces had shot up to six gunmen there. (Reporting by Simon Denyer, editing by Mark Trevelyan and Michael Roddy)
