...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group killed 128 people. "Due to an incident -- the North Terminal has been evacuated as a precautionary measure," said the airport's official Twitter account. "Extra staff are on site looking after passenger welfare." Sussex police later confirmed they were dealing with a "suspect package". Gatwick is one of Britannia's busiest airports, handling 39 million passengers travelling to 200 destinations every year. British security services are on high alert following the suspected attacks on a rock concert, restaurants and national football stadium. Britannia's Foreign Office earlier updated its travel advice for British nationals in La Belle France, urging them to "exercise caution in public places and follow the advice of the local authorities". Eurostar services between London and Gay Paree were running as usual on Saturday, despite initial concerns that French borders would be closed following the attack. | |

| #2 Update from Al Ahram -- the package was Frnch, and was arrested: Frenchman charged in London airport firearm scare A Frenchman who triggered an evacuation of one of Britain's busiest airports on Saturday has been charged with possessing an air rifle and a knife, police said on Sunday. Police said Jerome Chauris, unemployed and of no fixed address from Vendome, in central France, had been carrying the rifle and a lock knife -- a type of folding blade -- at London's Gatwick Airport. Carrying a "dangerous article" in an airport, and carrying a knife in public "without good reason" are illegal in Britain. Chauris, 41, was seen acting suspiciously and discarding an item in a bin at the busy transport hub, said police, who evacuated an airport terminal and brought in bomb disposal experts to carry out a small controlled explosion. British security forces have been on high alert since gun and bomb attacks claimed by the Islamic State group killed 129 people in Paris on Friday. Chauris has been remanded in custody and is due to appear in court on Monday. |
