El primer ministro británico, Andy Burnham, ha declarado a la BBC que existen "fuertes indicios" de que Irán estuvo implicado en el incidente ocurrido el domingo cerca de una base aérea militar en el suroeste de Inglaterra, Fairford, utilizada por el ejército estadounidense en su conflicto contra Teherán.

"Existen fuertes indicios de que Irán habría desempeñado un papel en los sucesos ocurridos este fin de semana en la base de la Royal Air Force en Fairford", ha afirmado el líder laborista en una entrevista con la BBC. Por su parte, Irán había negado "categóricamente" el lunes cualquier vínculo con este asunto.

Uno de los cinco británicos detenidos el domingo cerca de la base militar de Fairford (suroeste de Inglaterra) llamó a la Policía antes de que lo hiciera una vecina, que alertó a las autoridades de la presencia de encapuchados, informa este miércoles la prensa.

Los medios señalan que uno de los sospechosos contactó con los servicios de emergencia a las 00:45 hora local, tras lo cual una granjera que pasaba por la zona en coche telefoneó a las 01:36 horas, al detectar tres furgonetas blancas y un grupo de enmascarados.

La Policía Antiterrorista (CTP, en inglés) prosigue su investigación del suceso, que provocó una alerta de seguridad ante la posibilidad de que se planeara un atentado contra la base, que actualmente utiliza Estados Unidos, con autorización del Reino Unido, para ataques "de carácter defensivo" contra objetivos iraníes.
