RAF Fairford-hendelsen: To menn pågrepet på nytt

NRK20 October 2026, 21:59 UTCIran

Britisk politi har pågrepet to menn på nytt som en del av etterforskningen av hendelsen ved RAF Fairford flybase forrige måned, melder Reuters. Mennene er mistenkt for å ha bistått iransk etterretning. Totalt syv menn ble tidligere arrestert i saken, men alle ble løslatt mot kausjon. De to som nå er arrestert på nytt, er en 24 år gammel britisk statsborger og en 25 år gammel britisk-iransk dobbeltstatsborger. Storbritannias statsminister Andy Burnham har tidligere sagt det er svært sannsynlig at Iran var involvert i hendelsen, noe Iran benekter.
