A security scare has gripped western England, with police declaring a ‘major incident’ near RAF Fairford after several men were arrested on suspicion of explosives offences. Properties around the military base were evacuated as a bomb squad examined vehicles in the area, sending residents to a nearby leisure centre. RAF Fairford air base, in Gloucestershire, is also used by the American Air Force and has become a flashpoint amid protests over Britain’s decision to allow the US to use the base for strikes on Iran. --- UK Air base | UK Security Scare | Bomb Threat | US Air Force | Iran war | Explosives | RAF Fairford | UK air force | Firstpost #uk #securitybreach #unitedkingdom #fairford #usairforce #royalairforce #firstpost Firstpost is an Indian news and media website.
