US removes all its long-range bombers from RAF Fairford following ‘terror attack’ incident

# The US Air Force has removed all of its bombers from RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, after the British military air base was the target of a suspected terror attack last month. Five British nationals were arrested on suspicion of explosives offences and terrorism, but were released on bail. Last week, UK prime minister Andy Burnham said there was a “strong indication that Iran played a part” in the incident. Tehran has denied any involvement. A Pentagon official says all US bombers have redeployed to their home stations in America.
