UK police release five men on bail after arrests over alleged plot near Fairford air base

British police announced on Monday that five men arrested a day earlier near the Fairford military base have been released on bail.

The men were detained on Sunday on suspicion of planning a terrorist attack. Following their release on bail, they must comply with certain conditions while the investigation continues, though police have not disclosed further details about the case or the direction of the ongoing inquiry.

The Fairford base is known as a joint UK-US military facility, and incidents near it typically draw heightened security attention. Police say the investigation is continuing to determine whether the suspicions of a planned attack will be confirmed.
