A dual national's arrest raises questions of foreign state involvement in an airbase security scare.
British counter-terrorism police arrested a 27-year-old man with dual UK and Iranian citizenship in central London. He was detained on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts in connection with an incident last Sunday near RAF Fairford, a military airbase in southwest England.
A second man, aged 26 and a UK national, was questioned under caution as part of the same investigation. Police said their inquiry into events at the base is 'hugely complex' and involves multiple lines of enquiry.
On the same Sunday, five other men in their 20s from London were arrested over the incident on suspicion of explosives offences and terrorism. They have since been released on bail, Al Jazeera reported.
Senior counter-terrorism coordinator Vicki Evans said investigators are 'looking at all possible angles – including possible foreign state involvement.' Police found no explosives in vehicles near the base but retrieved a quantity of petrol.
UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham said there were 'strong indications' that Iran played a role in the alleged security incident. Iran has strongly denied any involvement.
Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, said British authorities were 'barking up the wrong tree.' Iran’s embassy in London called attempts to link Iran to those arrested 'fabricated speculations' that fuel 'Iranophobia propaganda,' according to Al Jazeera.
RAF Fairford, located 160 kilometers west of London, has been used by US bombers during conflicts in the Middle East for decades. Since March, the US has used the base to launch attacks on Iran.
The UK has authorized US bombers based there to strike Iranian missile sites targeting ships in the Strait of Hormuz. In July, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps warned that bases used to launch attacks on Iran could be treated as legitimate targets, Al Jazeera reported.
