British police found no explosive devices during searches of five citizens suspected of preparing a terrorist attack. According to Sky News, the inspection was carried out in the homes and cars of detainees as part of the investigation into the incident at Fairward airbase in England.

The head of the National Directorate for combating terrorism in the UK, Lawrence Taylor, confirmed the absence of improvised explosive devices. Earlier, the counter-terrorism office of Scotland Yard reported the release of all five defendants on bail.

Fairward Air Base is home to American strategic bombers. The incident became the subject of a large-scale counterterrorism investigation.

US President Donald Trump commented on the decision of the British authorities. He expressed surprise at the release of the suspects on bail and did not rule out Tehran's possible role in the incident.
