'Exposed' by 999 call, 5 suspects on bail: What happened near US-run RAF base in UK

Five men were arrested, later release on bail, near RAF Fairford in western England on Sunday after police received reports of three suspicious vans travelling towards the military air base, which has been used by US bombers during the war against Iran. The men were initially detained under explosives legislation and were later arrested on suspicion of preparing an act of terrorism. Three vans were searched by an Army bomb-disposal team, while a 400-metre cordon was imposed around the vehicles and residents of about 85 homes in nearby Whelford were evacuated.
