'We played with the terrorists' British police arrest four 'London bombers may kill again' Bomb-suspect family go to cops

London - Police said they arrested a man on Wednesday at Luton airport near London under anti-terrorism legislation as he prepared to leave on a flight for France.

Bedfordshire police said the man was due to fly to Nimes with budget carrier Ryanair, but did not say why he was arrested or if the detention was connected with the recent attacks against London's transit system.

The plane was later allowed to take off, police said.

They added that the flight was initially delayed while police carried out checks.

"I would like to reassure everybody that their safety is our priority and apologize for the delay to this flight, but it is important that all calls to the police are thoroughly investigated.

Again, we apologise for the inconvenience this has caused," deputy chief constable Martin Stuart said in a statement.
