Five men suspected of planning a bomb attack at RAF Fairford were released on bail after authorities found no viable explosives. The suspects, aged 23 to 25, were detained near the UK airbase in Gloucestershire. Police searched three seized vans but found no evidence of explosives.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham will chair a Cobra meeting to review the case. The incident has raised questions about counter-terrorism procedures. US President Donald Trump expressed surprise at the bail decision, stating he would not have made the same choice.
Authorities are still investigating the alleged plot. No arrests have been made beyond the five suspects. The military base, used by the US Air Force, remains under scrutiny. Officials have not confirmed the full details of the investigation.
The situation highlights ongoing concerns about security at military installations. Further updates are expected as the probe continues.
