LONDON,(Saba) – British anti-terrorism police arrested a Sudanese man reportedly for carrying bullets at Heathrow airport after flying in from Washington en route to Dubai.

Police officials said Wednesday's arrest was made under section 41 of the anti-terror law which refers to the "alleged involvement in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism."

The 45-year-old man was detained after passing through a security check following his arrival on British airline Virgin Atlantic's flight.

Police said a quantity of suspected ammunition was found in the man's possession, and that the items were being forensically examined.

Reports quoted security sources at Heathrow as saying that the man had five bullets of two different types.
