UK rearrests duo on suspicion of aiding Iran in alleged plot at US-run airbase

British police said on Tuesday that they had rearrested two men on suspicion of assisting Iran’s intelligence service over the suspected plot at a US-run airbase in England last month.

Counter Terrorism Policing said the men, a 24-year-old British national and a 25-year-old dual UK-Iranian national, were arrested under the National Security Act.

The men were earlier arrested but had been bailed pending more investigation.

Police are investigating a suspected terror plot on September 27 against the US-run base at RAF Fairford in western England, which has been used to bomb Iran during this year’s war.
