Sixth man arrested in RAF Fairford suspected terror plot investigation
A dual UK-Iranian national aged 27 has been arrested on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts in connection with an incident near RAF Fairford.
A 27-year-old dual UK-Iranian national has been arrested in Westminster, London, on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts as part of an investigation into activity near RAF Fairford. The arrest is the sixth in the inquiry, which began when five men were arrested on Sunday after a local farmer reported suspicious vehicles and masked men near the base. Prime Minister Andy Burnham said there were 'strong indications' of Iranian involvement, though counter-terrorism police said they were examining all possible angles including possible foreign state involvement. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi rejected the claims, saying Burnham was 'barking up the wrong tree'. The five men initially arrested remain on bail.
