๐ด Five men arrested over suspected bomb plot at UK air base to be released on bail
Five men, all UK nationals aged between 23 and 25, have been arrested in connection with a suspected bomb plot at RAF Fairford, a US-operated airbase in Gloucestershire, England. The men were detained on Sunday following a tip-off about three large white vans heading towards the military base and were questioned on Monday. According to UK Counter Terrorism Policing, the suspects are being released on police bail this afternoon under strict conditions on their movement and contact with others.
The investigation into the incident is ongoing, with sources suggesting an Iranian-linked motive as the most likely scenario. However, Iranian officials have strongly denied any involvement in the alleged plot.
