A dual national from the United Kingdom and Iran has been arrested on suspicion of preparing terrorist activities in connection with the incident at RAF Fairford, according to counter-terrorism police.
Police arrested a 27-year-old man in Westminster, London. Police have questioned a second individual, a 26-year-old British national, under caution, and searched two residences in the neighbourhood. Five males in their twenties who were arrested near the Gloucestershire airbase on Sunday are still on police bail. All five were British nationals from London.
Vicki Evans, senior national coordinator of counter-terror police, stated that they are exploring “all possible angles – including foreign state involvement”.The investigation into the events in Gloucestershire is complicated, with professional teams investigating several lines of inquiry, according to the spokesperson.I’d want to thank the public for their ongoing support and patience as we conduct this investigation.
On Wednesday, Prime Minister Andy Burnham stated that “strong indications” point to Iran’s involvement in the tragedy. He did not disclose any other information, and Tehran has strenuously rejected any involvement.
