Comment trois camionnettes ont placé un village des Cotswolds au cœur d'un incident terroriste majeur | BBC News

Reportage de BBC News sur un incident majeur déclaré après que trois camionnettes ont été repérées près de la base RAF Fairford le 27 septembre, entraînant l'évacuation du village voisin de Whelford. Plusieurs arrestations pour des soupçons d'infractions liées au terrorisme ont eu lieu.

Three vans were spotted near RAF Fairford in the early hours of Sunday 27th September and the police were called. A major incident was declared, and everyone in the small village of Whelford was evacuated. RAF Fairford is a military airfield located in the Gloucestershire Cotswolds. It is owned by the UK's Ministry of Defence, but is operated on a day-to-day basis by the United States Air Force under an agreement between the UK and US. Five men, all British nationals in their 20s, were arrested on suspicion of explosives offences and terrorism offences, and they were later released on bail. A dual UK-Iranian national, aged 25, has also since been arrested on suspicion of terror offences. BBC Reporter Steve Knibbs visited the usually quiet village in rural Gloucestershire to speak to its residents and find out more.
