Suspects in RAF Fairford bomb plot released on bail

In Britain, one of the men arrested near RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, on suspicion of explosive offences and later terrorism offences,

called the police hotline himself, according to the BBC. Five men were arrested and later released on bail.

A surprise decision by the UK's counterterrorism police to release five suspects on bail during an investigation into a suspected bomb plot

at a US-operated air force base in England has deepened questions and uncertainty about the incident.

Police confirmed Tuesday that no explosives were found in three vans linked to the suspects and said the decision to grant bail was grounded in "experience and strategy".

This sparked reaction from US President Donald Trump who said, "I wouldn't have done that."

The head of UK Counter Terrorism Policing Laurence Taylor stressed that the suspects - all British nationals in the 20s - face stringent conditions and 'absolutely remain under investigation.'
