Pentagon bomber withdrawal from RAF Fairford after Whelford scare
In ontwikkeling
Stand van zaken
The United States has removed all the bombers from RAF Fairford. The investigation has expanded to seven arrests, but all seven men are on police bail and none has been charged; the latest report says the public evidence does not establish an Iranian plot or explain precisely what threat prompted the withdrawal. The reports do not say the withdrawal has been declared settled or concluded.
