A dual UK-Iranian national who was arrested in connection with a suspected plot targeting RAF Fairford has been released on bail, according to Counter Terrorism Policing.
The arrest was linked to events in Gloucestershire, where RAF Fairford is located. Counter Terrorism Policing said its investigation into the circumstances surrounding those events is continuing, though it has not disclosed further details of the suspected plot or the specific allegations against the individual.
The decision to release the suspect on bail does not conclude the investigation, and conditions attached to bail in such cases are typically determined by the circumstances of the inquiry. Authorities have not indicated a timeframe for when the investigation might conclude.
