British counter-terrorism police detained five men near the RAF Fairford air base in western England on suspicion of offences related to explosives and terrorism. Police questioned them on Monday, describing the case as a major counter-terrorism investigation. ORF ↗
Bomb disposal experts also responded to the scene, examining the circumstances of the incident near the base. The British defence secretary urged the public not to speculate about the possible motives of those detained. Neither the police nor other authorities have yet released details about their identities, planned proceedings, or any potential charges. BBC News ↗
RAF Fairford is used by the United States Air Force. In the recent past it also served as a base for United States operations against Iran, which has heightened attention to security in the surrounding area. Der Standard ↗
US President Donald Trump stated that the detained men had been monitored by intelligence services for some time. He also praised cooperation with the British authorities and described the operation as successful. British police are continuing their investigation and may release further information about the case once questioning and security checks are complete. Onet Wiadomosci ↗
