  Released on police bail, just like they do for all dangerous terrorists and Iranian secret agents. Or maybe that was bollocks. https://www. theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/s ep/28/men-arrested-raf-fairford-counter-terrorism-police

  Question fucking remains @theguardian.com? Iran have ran rings around the mighty US and Great Britain. Along with one of the poorest countries in the world Yemen, has made both countries look like a pair of clowns. This article is pathetic.

  Oh and also on the van thing - CTC and UKSF both typically operate from transit vans & other civilian vehicles when bombing around the UK to events like these. They're discrete, they're prevalent everywhere, and they have plenty of room to store all their goodies. It wouldn't be remotely surprising to have an event where both the bad guys and the…

  if those vans contained anything that was going to be used to attack RAF Fairford, they wouldn’t be on bail right? Unclear. If they had explosives they wouldn't be bailed. But there are various legal substances that can be used or combined to make explosives, and they had massive barrels which are also often used in those sorts of bombs.

  RAF Fairford update After examination, the three white vans found at RAF Fairford did not contain viable explosives, according to people familiar with the matter If they had, fairly obviously the five suspects would not have been released on bail today However, that does not

  Doesn't sound like much of a case...

Fairford on Sunday were being released on bail but remained under investigation." https://www. nytimes.com/2026/09/28/world/e…

  The simplest explanation of the facts we have is that they aren’t terrorists hence why they were allowed bail, Trump was talking rubbish as usual to claim another’s victory or save face, and Streeting came up with a mealy mouthed non statement to not embarrass Trump.

  It is probably pretty easy for experiences police and security services to tell whether these were 5 terrorists with the iibtebt and equipment for breaking into a military base.... or 5 morons stealing stuff, fly tipping or dogging.

  I mean, if there is a high threat level and there was added security and surveillance around the site, that just might explain why they were treated so seriously and caused such a huge police response.

  "Trump also suggested the plot was known to the US authorities. But British sources suggested the specific activities of the men was unknown." 'suggested'? no, insisted.
