Dual UK-Iranian national arrested over security incident at US-run air base in England
British police have apprehended a dual U.K.-Iranian national in connection with a suspected terror attack at a U.S.-operated air base in England over the weekend. The 27-year-old suspect was taken into custody in London on Thursday and police have conducted searches at two residences in the capital. On Sunday, five other men, all aged between 20 and 27 years, were also arrested over the incident at RAF Fairford.
They have since been released on bail. Counter-terrorism police stated they are investigating all potential angles, including possible foreign state involvement. A second man, a 26-year-old U.K. national, has been questioned under caution. Metropolitan Police's senior counter-terrorism coordinator, Vicki Evans, expressed gratitude for the public's support during the ongoing investigation.
