Suspect in alleged plot against British base called police before arrest, UK media report

One of the suspects in the alleged plot targeting a UK airbase used by the US military called the police shortly before they were arrested, multiple British media outlets have reported.

The five men were arrested early Sunday on suspicion of explosive offenses and later terrorism charges near a Royal Air Force base at Fairford in western England, from where US B-1 bombers have been flying missions against Iran.
