Anti terrorism police from the UK are in Venezuelan to investigate the man they arrested in London Gatwick Airport for carrying a live hand grenade in his luggage after flying into London on a British Airways flight from Caracas.

The 37-year-old man, Mohammed Rahaham Alan is believed to have been traveling on false Venezuelan documents, as a government official said this week that both the man's passport and identity cards were forged. 

The address at which Rahaham claims he lived in Venezuela has been visited, and a family of the same name do live there ... but the house has been unoccupied for over a month, according to neighbors.

The man appeared in court in London earlier this week where he was charged was possessing an article with the intention of committing a terrorist act.
