    Security Incident At Heathrow Airport
    Ian Collier, Sky News Online

    Police are attending a security alert at London's Heathrow Airport.

    One passenger told Sky News armed police boarded a flight, believed to have been bound for Dubai, and took a man off in handcuffs.

    Cameron McLean said: "Police just swarmed the guy and rushed him out.

    "I think he was a white male. There was another one but I didn't see him."

    He said the man was taken out in handcuffs then sniffer dogs were brought on board.

    An airport spokesman said: "I can confirm there has been an incident on the EK004 flight to Dubai.

    "Police are attending. It's not affecting the rest of the airport which remains opens."

    Sky's home affairs correspondent Mark White said what appears to be C019 armed response officers boarded the flight.

    Cops Board Heathrow Jet After 'Verbal Threat'
    Ian Collier, Sky News Online

    Armed police have boarded a plane at Heathrow airport and are believed to have arrested two men after a "verbal threat", according to reports.

    Passenger Cameron McLean said: "Police just swarmed the guy and rushed him out.

    "I think he was a white male. There was another one but I didn't see him."

    He said the man was taken out in handcuffs then sniffer dogs were brought on board.

    An airport spokesman said: "I can confirm there has been an incident on the EK004 flight to Dubai.

    "Police are attending. It's not affecting the rest of the airport which remains opens."

    Sky's home affairs correspondent Mark White said what appears to be C019 armed response officers boarded the flight.

    The incident comes amid heightened tension at airports across the world in the wake of the botched Christmas Day bombings.

    Extra bag checks, body searches and on board regulations have seen travellers in London wait up to three hours before taking off.

    Former London student Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab, 23, made his first public court appearance earlier facing charges of trying to ignite explosives on a US airliner over Detroit.

    Authorities say the Nigerian as travelling from Amsterdam to Detroit when he tried to destroy the Northwest Airlines plane carrying nearly 300 people by injecting chemicals into a package of explosives concealed in his underwear.

    He is alleged to have links with al Qaeda.

    Judge Mark Randon entered a not guilty plea for Abdul Mutallab, who could face up to life in prison on the most serious charge - attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction.

    Verbal threat. Case of talkers and do'ers I reckon. Lets hope thats all it was shall we. Some very sorry guys I reckon. But thats just my tuppence, lets not get into idle speculation shall we. Wait for the facts to come to light, if it was a real threat well then, good drills on 19 and the rest of them involved.

    If it wasn't a real threat.... the well oiled machine works thats for sure, lets hope it continues to do so. Travelled through heathrow recently.....very smooth.
