Seven arrests made in England linked to RAF Fairford incident

A 22‑year‑old UK citizen was arrested in Westminster on suspicion of preparing a terror act related to RAF Fairford, and a 25‑year‑old dual Iranian/UK citizen was also arrested in Westminster on 1 October and later released on bail.

Five people in their 20s were arrested in Gloucestershire after a tip about a three‑minibus convoy heading to RAF Fairford; they were detained on suspicion of explosives and terror offences but were later released on bail, and the United States withdrew B‑1 and B‑52 bombers from the base after the UK approved its use for Iran‑related defence operations.
