Rubio says foreign actor involved in UK airbase incident

# US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says a suspected terror plot near a British airbase used by US forces clearly involved a foreign actor. Five British men in their twenties, from London, were arrested near RAF Fairford on Sunday and released on bail a day later. British counter-terrorism police are investigating whether the suspects were acting for a foreign state. Rubio did not identify the country or provide evidence, while US President Donald Trump suggested there could be a link to Iran. Tehran has denied involvement. The investigation is continuing.
