China News Service, September 29. According to comprehensive foreign media reports, the British police are investigating whether the relevant suspects were instructed by foreign governments to participate in a conspiracy to attack air bases used by the US military.

"I would say don't release them on bail... I'm surprised they were released. I wouldn't do that," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.

According to CNN, Trump also suggested that the incident "may be" related to Iran. But Trump refused to explain further, saying only: "I know the answer. I can be very specific, but I don't want to say it."

The British police stated on the 28th local time that the release of bail for the five suspects does not mean the end of the investigation. The movements of the five suspects will be strictly restricted.

According to reports, British authorities said that someone called the police and reported that a suspicious vehicle was sighted near Royal Air Force Base Fairford, England. On September 27, five suspects were arrested near the base on suspicion of explosives crimes and planning terrorist attacks. The five suspects are from the London area and are aged between 23 and 25 years old. The base hosts U.S. bombers on missions against Iran.

According to the US "Capitol Hill" report, Trump said on the 27th that Washington and London worked together to arrest these suspects. He said the suspects "had been under surveillance for a long time" and intended to cause "huge damage" to the base.

British Prime Minister Burnham chaired a meeting of the Cabinet Emergency Committee on the 28th. British Home Secretary Mahmoud also said that as of that afternoon, "the scene was safe." Three suspicious vehicles remain under police cordon.

Regarding Trump's remarks, Downing Street said it had no response yet and suggested that CNN refer to the police's earlier statement.

According to reports, Iran has denied the relevant accusations.
