Gaza, Agencies - Former Israeli intelligence chief Amos Yadlin was briefly detained and questioned by the British police at London's Heathrow airport upon arrival on Monday to an arrest warrant pending against him that had been issued by Turkey in connection to the Mavi Marmara affair, Hebrew media reported.

After an investigation conducted by immigration officers in conjunction with the British Foreign Office, Yadlin was allowed to enter the country and proceed on his way. 

About a year and a half ago Turkey's chief prosecutor filed an indictment with an Istanbul court against four Israeli officers for their "responsibility for the massacre on the Turkish ship Mavi Marmara': Former Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi, former Navy Chief Eliezer Marom, Air Forces intelligence director Avishai Levi and Yadlin.
