"The men are in "Hounslow" and will be questioned by police. They were stopped while traveling in a car close to the airports outer fence. No weapons were encountered.

One building at Gatwick has been closed and evacuated. Police are saying that roads will be closed in the area."

Not the first time I've seen all that at Heathrow. Stepping off a flight from Chicago c1985, the first person I saw was a squaddie with whatever the hell that gun is -SLR? -thing with a long curved magazine. Hell, what do I know.

On the way out, more army personnel and armed police. Then, just the other side of the tunnel where that BA Concorde model is, there were a load of tanks! Some big, some small - those little Scorpion things. That was at the time that Gaddaffi had bombed Vienna airport.

LONDON (AP) - British police arrested two men Thursday near London's Heathrow airport, where troops have been on patrol following a terrorist threat, and another man was detained after an alert disrupted flights at the city's Gatwick airport.

Reports say the man at Gatwick had a live grenade.

A good way to kill that grenade would be to shove it up his butt.

Thats not very politically correct. Afterall, its the UK whose at fault here. If the lines at the airport werent so long, this man wouldnt have to resort to terroristic activity. I blame society.

The guy with the grenade had a false passport...he is not from Venezuela...

Dowding · « **Reply #12 on:** February 14, 2003, 02:34:25 AM »

That's not mentioned anywhere or on any BBC news service.

Hortlund · « **Reply #13 on:** February 14, 2003, 03:12:06 AM »

Are you kidding?

It's in the top 3 news over here. What kind of news reporting do you have over there?

Hang on I'll try to find some internet source.

Hortlund · « **Reply #14 on:** February 14, 2003, 03:14:31 AM »

4 more arrests under the terror-laws in London "right now"
Arrests are believed to be related to the two arrests yesterday.

I dunno if you read Swedish Dowding... but I doubt it

Maybe you can run this text through some bablefish or something.
