Twist in UK Air Base Case: Suspect Dialed Police to Report Incident

One of the five men arrested near Britain's RAF Fairford air base was the person who dialed emergency services to report the incident, The Guardian and i24NEWS reported.

According to The Guardian, the emergency call made by the man, who is in his 20s and from London, was among the reasons armed police were dispatched to the scene. The five men were arrested alongside three vans near the military installation in Gloucestershire, which is used by American forces, amid suspicions of an Iran-backed bomb plot.
