Hong Kong, February 17

Police arrested an American FBI agent who allegedly was carrying 15 rounds of ammunition in his hand luggage as he tried to change airplanes in Hong Kong, officials said today. The agent apparently was able to board a flight in New York with the bullets loaded into a pistol magazine packed in his bag, but he was detected by security as he tried to board a connecting flight to Bangkok.

The FBI agent had apparently forgotten he had the bullets.
