US President Donald Trump has criticised the UK's decision to release five men on bail after they were arrested near RAF Fairford over suspected explosives and terrorism offences. The men were released on Monday after extensive interviews and enquiries but remain under investigation, with counter-terrorism officers pursuing multiple lines of inquiry.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said he was 'surprised' the men had been released and claimed they had been seeking to cause 'big damage' to 'our fort,' though UK police have not substantiated this. He also suggested the incident could be connected to Iran but did not provide evidence, saying he did not want to discuss sensitive intelligence publicly.
