A UK-Iranian dual national has been arrested on suspicion of preparation of terrorist acts in connection with the incident at RAF Fairford, counter-terror police have said.

The 27-year-old man was arrested in Westminster, London.

A second man, a 26-year-old UK national, has also been questioned under caution, and two properties in the area have been searched.

Five men in their twenties who were arrested near the airbase on Sunday remain on police bail.

Counter-terror police are considering "all possible angles - including foreign state involvement", the force's senior national coordinator Vicki Evans said.
