In Britain, accused of preparing a terrorist attack at the air base was released on bail

In the UK, five people accused of preparing an explosion at the British air base Fairford, released on bail. This was reported to AFP by the head of the anti-terrorist unit of the British police Lawrence Taylor.

“Following extensive interrogations and investigative activities, the five detainees will be released on bail this afternoon with the obligation to appear before the police,” Taylor said. According to him, the decision does not mean that the investigation is completed. Suspects will be severely restricted from movement and contact with others.

On September 27, British police detained five men near Fairford Air Base in Gloucestershire, which is used by the US Air Force. They were charged with preparing a terrorist attack and violating the provisions of the law on explosives. According to the main version of the British authorities, the attackers acted under the control of a foreign state. The Times wrote that the police are studying a possible connection between Iran and the incident: in March 2026, Britain allowed the United States to use Fairford to strike Iranian positions.
