The key questions around the RAF Fairford terrorist incident

US President Donald Trump criticized the United Kingdom’s response to a suspected terror plot to attack a UK airbase used by the US military, saying he was “surprised” the five suspects were released on bail on Monday afternoon. Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump said he wouldn’t have released the suspects, suggesting their actions “might be” connected to Iran. But Trump refused to elaborate further, saying only: “I know the answer. I can be very specific, but I’d rather not say it.” The release of the men does not mean that the investigation is over, and all five will be subject to stringent conditions on their movements, British counter-terrorism police said Monday. Downing Street said it did not have an immediate response to Trump’s comments, and directed CNN to earlier statements made by police. Iran denied any involvement in the incident.
