18 arrested on ANZ flight at LHR.
18 middle-eastern men have been taken into custody at LHR this afternoon. They were onboard the ANZ flight from LAX to LHR. The pax were due to transit LHR on their way to Bahrain and Tripoli. Apparently, they had been acting very suspiciously during the flight - especially during the let down into LHR!
On arrival, the aircraft parked at a remote bay and was boarded by a large number of police. ANZ were warned in July of a possible "mob attack" by Al Qaeda fanatics using broken bottles, etc...
