Air Force Base: Incident at Military Base: Five Men Suspected of Terrorism

Five men were arrested on suspicion of terrorism outside the US military's RAF Fairford airbase in Gloucestershire, UK. They are suspected of preparing a terrorist attack and violating explosives laws. The arrests were made after police spotted three suspicious vehicles heading towards the airbase on Sunday night. Around 85 nearby households were evacuated as a precaution, and the UK's Anti-Terror Police are investigating, with the Prime Minister being kept informed. The US military had recently relocated long-range bombers to the base.
