Gerry Williams was on board a London-bound flight of the Pakistan International Airlines when 30 bullets were found during search of his baggage, officials said.

Williams, 70, was handed over to the area police for questioning as he could not produce any license to carry the ammunition, they said.

The U.S. national was a retired principal of a missionary school in Lahore, the provincial capital of Punjab.
