US withdraws bombers from UK base amid threats

The United States withdrew all B-1 bombers from RAF Fairford in southwestern England following a security threat described by U.S. officials as a "real-world incident." The move came days after British police arrested six men over an alleged plot to target the airbase and conducted a counter-terrorism investigation prompted by a farmer's report of suspicious activity at the base on September 27. British authorities indicated Iran may have been involved, though no explosives were found during the search.
