US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that a foreign actor is behind the alleged plan for a bomb attack near the British RAF Fairford air base. The base in western England is also used by the US armed forces. Rubio described the possible incident as a serious situation that, according to him, is clearly linked to the involvement of a foreign person or power. ekonomika.pravda.sk ↗
In connection with the suspicion of a planned terrorist act, five people were detained. They were later released on bail. Rubio expressed concern over this decision but did not specify in more detail what exactly led the authorities to suspect foreign involvement. STVR (Minúta po minúte) ↗
The minister provided no evidence to support his claim and declined to disclose further details of the investigation. It is therefore not known which country or organization he meant by the term "foreign actor." Likewise, it is unclear what specific attack was allegedly being prepared near the base. The Guardian ↗
The case concerns events from the past weekend, and the investigation is ongoing. The release of all five suspects on bail may play a significant role in further proceedings, but publicly available information does not yet clarify the scope of the plans or any possible foreign ties.
