Three held in Heathrow terror swoop

POLICE yesterday arrested three people at Heathrow Airport under the British anti-terrorism laws, but refused to link the suspects to last week’s bombings in London.

Deputy Assistant Commissioner Brian Paddick of the Metropolitan Police said it would be "inappropriate and pure speculation to draw any direct linkages to the attack in London".

Mr Paddick also said earlier that an unspecified number of bodies have been recovered from a subway train hit by the blasts, but conditions underground were still "very hot, very dusty, very dangerous".
