UK police arrested five men close to an airbase in England that is used by US long-range bombers on suspicion of terror and explosives offenses.
Army bomb disposal units are at the scene while dozens of houses nearby have been evacuated as a precaution with the investigation ongoing.
The arrests were made after information was received from residents in the area soon after midnight, according to Richard Ocone, a senior detective in the county of Gloucestershire. The men have not been identified and no clue has been given about a possible motive.
Were they holding Palestine Action signs? Oh the horror!
The UK has so overused the terrorism designation that my first assumption on reading the headline is that this is bullshit.
It’s never been a serious term. When they started calling 9/11 terrorism I was like OK we’ve been doing that to other countries like, ALOT so we should stfu and take the loss.
