UK: The five men arrested near RAF Fairford on Sunday morning are UK nationals in their 20s who live in London, police have confirmed. Counter Terrorism Policing’s Vicki Evans said she was “very aware of the levels of speculation about the motivation behind this incident, and the geopolitical questions that are being raised”. "However, I ask that at this time, Counter Terrorism Policing are given the space to work carefully and clearly,” she added. A farmer who called 999 after spotting “a large group of hooded and masked men” said she believed she had foiled their plans. However, Defence Secretary Wes Streeting said she had only a “partial picture”, while declining to speculate on possible Iranian links. Join EJN:
