Donald Trump says suspects in UK base case "were looking to do big damage to our fort"
“were looking to do big damage to our fort”
Reported September 29, 2026 by torontosun.com. Checked word for word against that report.
Five London-based British men in their mid-20s were arrested after three white vans were found near Royal Air Force Fairford, a base in southwest England used by U.S. aircraft for operations against Iran, and were later freed on bail. Police arrested them over suspected explosives offenses and later on suspicion of terrorism; they said the men remain under investigation. Some British media reported no signs of explosive material were found, while police have not made their results public. U.S. officials weighed in: President Donald Trump said he was surprised by the release and would have handled it differently, and on Sunday he said the suspects had long been under scrutiny and were a threat to the American installation. Secretary of State Marco Rubio called the matter serious and said a foreign actor appeared involved; Iran’s London embassy denied any role.
