The local media has noted that American warplanes have been using RAF Fairford to conduct strikes on Iran
The UK authorities have apprehended five men on suspicion of plotting a terrorist attack outside RAF Fairford, a British air base that also hosts US warplanes involved in strikes on Iran.
According to a statement by Gloucestershire Police Assistant Chief Constable Richard Ocone on Sunday, police received “a call relating to three suspicious vehicles travelling towards RAF Fairford.” The local media later described the vehicles as three white vans.
Officers arriving at the scene subsequently arrested five individuals near the village of Whelford “on suspicion of committing offenses under the Explosives Act,” with Counter Terror Police investigating what officials characterized as a “major incident.”
The BBC published an unverified photo purportedly showing the arrested suspects sitting half-naked on the ground with their hands behind their backs and faces blurred.
