United Kingdom police have released five terror suspects on bail Monday after they were arrested on suspicion of a terror plot targeting a U.S. air base in Britain this weekend.
Laurence Taylor, head of Counter Terrorism Policing, confirmed that investigations into the five men are ongoing, "including that this may be actively committed by proxies or individuals either knowingly or unknowingly working on behalf of a foreign state." Meanwhile, the Iranian Embassy in the U.K. has denied any connection to the five men.
The Sunday night arrests came after a local resident and farmer in Gloucestershire told the BBC that she had called police late in the evening after coming across three white vans blocking a road near RAF Fairford air base. As she turned her car around, she told the BBC that her headlights illuminated a group of "hooded and masked men" who "panicked" upon being spotted and scrambled into a nearby woods. [Defense News]
Good Night, Patriots!
