LONDON – British police say they have detained a man at a London airport on suspicion of terrorism offences.
Scotland Yard says officers stopped the 21-year-old man at Stansted Airport on Sunday night after he returned to the U.K. from Istanbul.
Police said Monday the arrest was not in response to any immediate threat.
The man, who remains in custody, is the latest among a number of people to be arrested by counter-terrorism officers at British airports in recent days.
