Police arrested a terror suspect as he tried to board a flight at London's Heathrow airport to leave the country.

The police confirmed that the 29-year-old man was arrested on Tuesday on suspicion of possessing information of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism, the Daily Mail reported.

The suspect was held as he tried to board a flight bound for Saudi Arabia on Monday.

A house in West London is also being searched by anti-terror police in connection with the inquiry.

"He has been taken to a London police station where he remains in custody," an official said.

"A number of electronic devices have been seized for further examination in connection with his investigation. Inquiries are ongoing," the official added.
