Heathrow Anti-Terror Plans 'Found at Petrol Station'

A top-level police investigation was under way tonight after a secret dossier containing counter-terror plans for Heathrow Airport was found lying abandoned in a road.

Home Secretary David Blunkett described the disappearance of the papers, which were found near a petrol station close to the airport’s perimeter fence, as “very bad“.

The document, which Mr Blunkett said was genuine, was discovered by a motorist “flapping at the roadside” and handed to The Sun newspaper.
