UK-Iranian dual national arrested in connection to suspected terror plot at RAF Fairford airbase

LONDON — British police investigating a suspected plot involving an air base used by the ​US to target Iran said they had ‌arrested a dual UK-Iranian national on Thursday on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts.In an incident which triggered a ​huge police response, raised alarm among Western ​allies, and remains largely unexplained, five British ⁠men in their 20s were arrested on ​Sunday on suspected terrorism and explosive offenses near ​RAF Fairford in western England.The men were later released without charge on police bail.But counter-terrorism police said they ​were considering whether a foreign state was ​involved in the incident and Prime Minister Andy Burnham said ‌on ⁠Wednesday it might have had Iranian involvement.Police said they had arrested the 27-year-old dual national in London while a second British man, 26, had also been ​questioned under ​caution.“The investigation ⁠into circumstances surrounding events in Gloucestershire is hugely complex, and our specialist ​teams are interrogating multiple lines of ​enquiry,” ⁠Britain’s Senior National Coordinator for Counter Terrorism Policing, Vicki Evans, said in a statement.“As we’ve made ⁠clear, ​we’re looking at all possible ​angles – including possible foreign state involvement.”...
