A MAN was quizzed by counter-terror cops after being arrested at Stansted Airport on suspicion of preparing for acts of terrorism.

Officers from the MPS Counter Terrorism Command swooped on the 37-year-old man on Tuesday night, moments before he boarded a flight to Turkey.

He was arrested on suspicion of preparing for acts of terrorism contrary to Section 41 of the Terrorism Act 2000.

It comes as the UK is on alert after the terror threat was raised to “critical” following Monday night’s Manchester Arena suicide bomb attack.

It means authorities expect another attack “imminently”.

The man was taken to a south London police station where he is being detained under the Terrorism Act.

Officers are now searching two homes in north London.

This arrest is linked to travel to Syria, but cops said it was not linked to Monday’s attack in Manchester.
