A group of terrorists had set their sights on blowing up England’s Fairford Royal Air Force Base, which is home to both US troops and England’s Royal Air Force.
Five men have now been arrested on suspicion of a car bomb plot. Their three vans were full of explosives. Here’s more from Lori Colley.
Five Muslim terrorists have been arrested at gunpoint in Great Britain after they plotted to blow up a Royal Air Force Base outside Fairford, near the Welsh border in western Great Britain. The base has been used by the U.S. Air Force to fly missions into Iran, so the terrorists likely wanted to thwart the U.S. military machine.
It’s said they had loaded explosives into large vans they intended to drive onto the base. Not only has much of the facility been evacuated but also neighboring villages and towns. Here’s more from Benny Johnson.
