Two Men Arrested Near UK Airbase Used by US on National Security Suspicion
British counter-terrorism police arrested two Latvian men near RAF Molesworth, a UK airbase used by US forces, after discovering a small breach in the perimeter fence. The men, aged 32 and 36, face charges including trespassing and entering a prohibited place under the National Security Act 2023. Authorities found no immediate link to a recent suspected terror plot at RAF Fairford, another US-used base. Investigations continue with searches at two addresses in the Peterborough area.
