PM Burnham says the UK Government “can confirm our belief that we believe Iran to have played a part” in the RAF Fairford incident.

I can confirm Iran’s belief that releasing supposed terrorists working for foreign states really says it all.

You’re barking up the wrong tree.

        No improvised explosive devices were found in the vans, but a “quantity of petrol” was recovered, Assistant Commissioner Taylor said.

        (also found was siphoning gear, and the vans used had fake ‘fuel2go’ decals on the side)

        They were released on bail which is very rare for actual terrorism suspects. All 5 were british nationals

        But I guess Andy needs to justify letting the US occupiers using bases on UK territory for launching attacks in the unprovoked war that’s pushing fuel prices in the UK(and elsewhere) through the roof

        from the article you linked:

        “There are strong indications that Iran played a part in what happened over the weekend at RAF Fairford,” he told the BBC. He did not provide further details.

        Well I guess if you count retaliating to having your school kids massacred by closing the strait driving up fuel prices making siphoning more lucrative as ‘playing a part’ then he’s technically not lying

        Burnham’s comments come after it emerged that one of the five men had dialled 999 himself before the group were arrested.

          I remember the days when the intelligence apparatus would’ve planted explosives in these people’s vehicles to find as part of the ‘evidence’ for the ‘foreign agents’ charge

          Now they just say they’re terrorists acting on behalf of a hostile nation state without even bothering for that theater
