Tuscaloosa, AL – The University of Alabama sends a few dozen students to Oxford University in England every summer for a few weeks of study. This year's group was supposed to return home Thursday, but the terrorism arrests in Great Britain - and the resulting security delays at airports across the world - postponed their arrival home until Friday. Mallory Morgan is a junior majoring in English at the University of Alabama. She spoke with Alabama Public Radio's Butler Cain Friday afternoon about her ordeal.

OUTRO: Mallory Morgan is a junior at the University of Alabama. She and a group of students were at London's Gatwick Airport during Thursday's terrorism security alert. After a delayed flight and an overnight stay in Detroit, Mallory returned to Alabama Friday morning.
