Escalation: Counter Terrorism Policing arrests dual UK-Iranian national
A 27-year-old dual British–Iranian was arrested in Westminster on Thursday in the inquiry into last weekend’s security incident near RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, a U.S.-run air base. He was held under Section 5 of the Terrorism Act 2006, which covers the preparation of terrorist acts.
A second man, 26 and a British national, was questioned under caution, and two properties in the area were searched. The investigation is described as highly complex, with multiple lines of inquiry underway.
