  "account": "London - British authorities arrested several men on Sunday in southwestern England on suspicion of breaching explosives laws. Investigators suspected a terrorist background. The suspects were being held in connection with a possible attack, the British police announced on Sunday. Multiple buildings were evacuated in the Whelford area near the U.S.-utilized RAF Fairford air base, the Gloucestershire police reported. A major stand-by was declared. An army specialist team investigated a number of vehicles for disarming explosive devices. Eyewitnesses to Reuters news agency reported armed police blocking access to the main gate of the base. Around 30 police, fire and rescue service vehicles were stationed nearby. The British government had given the U.S. permission to fly missions against Iranian missile positions from RAF Fairford. Iran had warned Britain a day earlier to prohibit U.S. bombers from departing from Fairford.",
