In a statement the Pentagon said: “We can acknowledge now that all US bombers that were deployed to RAF Fairford have redeployed to their home stations in the United States.”
The withdrawal of a dozen B-1 strategic aircraft comes after British counter-terrorism police arrested six suspects in connection with a planned attack on the base that US and British officials said was disrupted last Sunday.
Police initially detained five British men near RAF Fairford after three suspicious vans were reported nearby. The suspects were released on police bail while remaining under investigation. Ccounterterrorism officers then arrested a 25-year-old dual British-Iranian citizen on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts linked to the incident. He has also been released on bail while inquiries continue.
The US President Donald Trump has said a planned attack was intended to do “big damage” and claimed that suspects were under investigation by both US and British authorities. Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has claimed that his country handed Britain intelligence about the suspected terror plot.
The British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said there were "strong indications" pointing to Iranian involvement in the incident near the airbase, although he stressed that the police investigation remained ongoing. Iran has denied any connection to an alleged terror operation.
