UK police arrest five near RAF base on terror suspicions

Five men have been arrested near a US military base in the UK, with counter-terror police investigating further.

Reports claim police were called after three suspicious vehicles were seen travelling towards RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, in the early hours of yesterday morning.

The five men were initially arrested under the Explosives Act, then further arrested on suspicion of preparing a terrorist act.

UK correspondent Gavin Grey says police were called by a concerned local resident, and it's believed the individuals were linked to Iran.
