A Sudanese man armed with bullets was being questioned by anti-terrorist police yesterday after being arrested at Heathrow Airport hours after walking undetected through American security in Washington DC.

The man, aged 45, was able to board a Virgin Atlantic flight at Washington's Dulles Airport with four or five bullets, despite the introduction of extra security checks in the United States.

The security lapse is extremely embarrassing for the American authorities because they have questioned the level of protection being offered by foreign airlines and forced several flights to have additional checks.

The route between London and Washington has also been publicly identified as a potential target for terrorists in recent weeks.
