A few bits sound odd. Someone worried what beans Blair may spill at the Iraq War inquiry in order to save his own neck??
| Quote: | A suspected Albanian gangster carrying a loaded pistol and silencer has been arrested outside the home of former Prime Minister Tony Blair, police have said.
Mr Blair was in Washington DC at the time of the incident and his spokesman declined to comment on security issues.
The suspect, 56, was stopped in his car as he drove in Connaught Street, central London, on Monday at 11.15pm.
Officers on patrol became suspicious and arrested him for alleged traffic and documentation offences.
About 25 minutes later, a passer-by approached a uniformed officer on guard outside Mr Blair's £3.5m Connaught Square townhouse.
He handed the officer a black pistol, loaded with several bullets and fitted with a silencer, saying he found it in the gutter.
The officer raised the alarm and notified members of the Diplomatic Protection Group, who are responsible for Mr Blair's safety.
Investigators quickly linked the discovery of the gun with the arrest of the Albanian and he was re-arrested on suspicion of holding a prohibited weapon.
Forensic tests including fingerprinting and DNA analysis are under way, and the location of the arrest is believed to be entirely coincidental.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "The man remains in custody and police inquiries continue."
Mr Blair bought the four-storey Grade II listed property in 2004 as he prepared to leave Downing Street.
Connaught Street forms one side of Connaught Square, which is a short distance from Marble Arch in the capital's West End. |
