Suspect in RAF Fairford case called police to report incident

Man dialled 999 before he and four others were arrested near military base in Gloucestershire, it has emerged

One of the five men arrested near RAF Fairford as part of a terror investigation that prompted fears of an Iran-backed plot called the police to report the incident, it has emerged.

The call from the man, in his 20s and from London, was one reason armed police were scrambled to arrest the men, who were with three vans close to the military base used by the US in its attacks on Iran.
