A 32 year old man has been arrested at London Luton Airport on suspicion of preparation of terrorist acts.
He was picked up after his flight landed at the airport last night by Metropolitan Police counter-terror officers.
It's understood the case is related to Syria and not to any offences at the airport.
He's been taken to a police station in Bedfordshire, but the Police haven't yet said which one.
The arrest was on suspicion of preparation of terrorist acts, contrary to section 5 of the Terrorism Act.
Section 5 of the Terrorism Act 2006 states:
Preparation of terrorist acts
(1) A person commits an offence if, with the intention of —
(a) committing acts of terrorism, or
(b) assisting another to commit such acts,
he engages in any conduct in preparation for giving effect to his intention.
(2) It is irrelevant for the purposes of subsection (1) whether the intention and preparations relate to one or more particular acts of terrorism, acts of terrorism of a particular description or acts of terrorism generally.
(3) A person guilty of an offence under this section shall be liable, on conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for life.
