The United States has withdrawn all its B-1 bomber planes from the Freford airbase in Britain. There were about 12 B-1 bombers stationed here. The Pentagon confirmed this on Sunday. Security at this airbase was recently increased. Five people were arrested from here on suspicion of terrorist conspiracy. Later, all the accused were granted bail. US President Donald Trump expressed his displeasure over this. 3 vans were found near the airbase Last Sunday, a farmer living in the village of Whelford near the airbase in England saw three vans parked on the road. According to him, there were many unscrupulous people present there and later fled from the spot. A woman informed the police about 3 suspicious vans. Security was beefed up in the area after the police received the information and 85 houses around the airbase were evacuated. In the pictures, barrel-like objects were seen inside this van. One of the vans had a fake logo and phone number on it, so that it looked like a car of a real diesel supply company. No explosives were found in the van during the investigation. Lawrence Taylor, head of the National Counter Terrorism Policing, said that a small amount of petrol was found there. Five British men were arrested Following the incident, five British men, aged between 23 and 25, living in London, were arrested. All were later released on bail. During the investigation, a British-Iranian national was also arrested from London on October 1. According to the police, he was arrested in connection with an investigation into a suspicious incident that took place near the Fafford airbase. He was later released on bail. US President Donald Trump, on granting bail to the accused, said that he does not do so. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressed suspicion that a foreign power (Iran) was involved in the case. Iran later denied the allegations. Fairford was being used for operations against Iran Britain allowed the United States to use RAF Fairford for special defensive operations against Iran in March. Since then, American bombers and other military aircraft have been seen taking off and returning from here. The airbase was opened in 1944 during World War II. The runway of this airbase is about 9,990 feet (3 kilometers) long. It counts as a select airfield in Europe where heavy bombers can be landed and flown.
