๐ฌ๐ง Five British men arrested near RAF Fairford, the English air base US bombers have used in the war on Iran, were released on bail Monday, as Britain's PA news agency reported that police found no viable explosives.
The men, all in their 20s and from London, were detained early Sunday after three vans were spotted heading toward the base, and held on suspicion of explosives offenses and preparing a โterrorist act.โ Counterterrorism chief Laurence Taylor said they "absolutely remain under investigation."
Police are examining possible links to Iran, Russia, or non-state groups, including "proxies or individuals, either knowingly or unknowingly, working on behalf of a foreign state." Iran has denied any involvement. Trump claimed the men were looking to do "big damage."
