The suspected plot near RAF Fairford was disrupted after one of the five suspects called 999 himself early Sunday, before the group was arrested on suspicion of explosives and terrorism offenses. The Times reports. Investigators are examining whether the men were acting as proxies for Iran and whether they were conducting surveillance, testing security at the base, or planning an operation. Police are also investigating whether the suspect called 999 because he got cold feet or whether the call itself was part of the plan.
