Urgent security review launched at Gatwick

Just over a month after Britain was put in fear of a major terrorist attack when the army was drafted in to create a ring of steel around Heathrow Airport, the News of the World yesterday revealed that one of its investigators, reporter Rob Kellaway, gained access to the security zone of Gatwick Airport.

As Britain stands on the brink of war with Iraq, the newspaper claims that the reporter was able to get past guards by hiding in the back of a catering lorry supplying in-flight meals to planes at the Sussex airport on Thursday evening.
