LONDON (Reuters) - British police arrested two men under anti-terrorism laws at London's Heathrow airport on Tuesday, suspecting both to be involved in activities overseas, police sources said.

Mohammed Abushamma and Qasim Abukar, both aged 20 and from north London, would appear in court on Wednesday, a Scotland Yard spokesman said.

He said they were charged with preparing to commit acts of terrorism.
