Heathrow Terminal evacuated after suspicious bag discovered

A man was arrested under the Terrorism Act after a terminal at Heathrow Airport was evacuated today because of a suspicious ball bag, police said.

Passengers were allowed back into Terminal Two after the ball bag was checked and cleared by specialist officers.

An airport source, who declined to be identified, said a police swab test for explosives on the bag had showed positive, but that it was not a viable ball bag bomb.

A police spokeswoman declined comment on whether explosive substances had been detected but said she felt quite excited 'down below.'

She gave no further details.
