Heathrow evacuated over bomb fear

Two thousand people were evacuated from Heathrow Airport's Terminal Two after a suspect package was found.
BAA confirmed that the package was cleared on Tuesday evening after the majority of people were made to leave the building.
The package was found in the check-in area and police investigating the airport incident have arrested a man under the Terrorism Act.
Anyone travelling from Heathrow is advised to check with their airline.
A report that a man had run up to a desk, dropped off a package and then ran off is being investigated, police said.
An airport spokesman said disruption to Terminal Two operations should be expected for the rest of the day.
