Sprengstoff: Festnahmen nahe US-genutzter Militärbasis in Großbritannien
Mehrere Personen sollen nahe der Militärbasis gegen das Sprengstoffgesetz verstoßen haben. Zahlreiche Einsatzkräfte untersuchen den Vorfall vor Ort. Die Lage sei unter Kontrolle, heißt es.
Several men were arrested near the US Air Force-operated British military base RAF Fairford. According to the PA news agency, the men are suspected of violating the explosives law. Residents near the US Air Force base in Gloucestershire were forced to evacuate their homes. Numerous personnel were reportedly on site, including experts in munitions disposal from the armed forces.
They examined several vehicles, it was reported. Police said the incident was under control in the morning. Details were initially scarce. It was only in March that US forces moved long-range bombers to RAF Fairford. The UK Ministry of Defence confirmed to the London government that the US was utilizing British bases for "specific defense operations" during the Iran war. The US utilization had been controversially discussed at the beginning of the war.
