Sixth arrest in RAF Fairford incident: UK-Iranian man held in London
–
Neutral summary
On Thursday, October 1, British counter-terrorism police announced the arrest in London of a 27-year-old man holding both British and Iranian citizenship on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts linked to the incident at RAF Fairford, an airbase in western England used by the US Air Force for strikes against Iran. The arrest brings the total number of detainees in the case to six. On Sunday, September 27, five British men in their 20s were detained near the base on suspicion of terrorism and explosives offences; they were later released on bail. Police said no explosives were found in three vans connected to the suspects, and one of the men reportedly contacted police himself. Prime Minister Andy Burnham said there were “strong indications” of Iranian involvement, while Tehran denies any connection, dismissing the allegations as “Iranophobia.” As part of the investigation, police searched two properties in London. Reports also mention the detention of an Iranian citizen and the questioning of another British man, though details of these events have not been disclosed.
