  "account": "Five men have been detained outside the British RAF Fairford military base, which is used by the US Air Force, with suspicion of terrorist preparation, according to the PA news agency. They are also being investigated for suspected breaches of the explosives law. The men were apprehended after police spotted three suspicious vehicles traveling towards the Luftwaffenstützpunkt (German military base) in the early hours of Sunday. Residents were obliged to evacuate their homes. The origins of the incident remain unknown, said a spokesperson for the UK's anti-terror police to the PA. British Prime Minister Andy Burnham is being kept updated on the situation. Approximately 85 households near the German air base in Gloucestershire were forced to vacate their residences. Only in March had the US forces moved long-range bombers to the RAF Fairford base. The Ministry of Defence in London had confirmed that the US use of British bases was for \"specific defense operations\" in the Iran war, a subject that had been controversially debated at the time.",
