Dual UK-Iranian national arrested over RAF Fairford incident, counter terror police say
Police say the investigation involves five other arrests, two property searches and possible foreign state involvement.
- Counter Terrorism Policing arrested a 27-year-old dual British-Iranian national on Thursday afternoon in Westminster, London, on suspicion of preparation of terrorist acts related to an alleged bomb plot near RAF Fairford.
- Five British men in their 20s were arrested on Sunday near the Gloucestershire air base after one suspect dialed 999 on himself. Police detained them on suspicion of explosives and terrorism offences.
- Senior National Coordinator for Counter Terrorism Policing Vicki Evans said the force is investigating "all possible angles- including foreign state involvement." Authorities executed searches at two properties in the Gloucestershire area.
- Reports indicate Israel warned Britain of an "Iranian-sponsored" attack ahead of the incident, according to Netanyahu. The allegation adds a potential foreign dimension to the ongoing terrorism investigation.
