Andy Burnham says there are 'strong indications that Iran played a part' in what happened at RAF Fairford last Sunday, where five men were arrested early on suspicion of explosives offences and preparing a terrorist act. However, Counter Terrorism Policing (CTP) confirmed they were released the next day on police bail.
'They remain under investigation and must adhere to strict conditions while we continue our work,' CTP Assistant Commissioner Laurence Taylor said of the release. The arrests involved suspected explosives offences and preparation of a terrorist act. However, the police found no explosives in the vans. They found petrol.
