Currently Playing: UK farmer who spotted suspects speaks out after arrests made at US-run RAF airbase

The five suspects arrested on suspicion of terrorist-related activities at a U.S.-operated Royal Air Force (RAF) base in Fairford, England on Sunday, have been released on bail, according to the British head of counterterrorism policing. “To be very clear, this does not mean that the investigation is over. They [the suspects] are subject to stringent conditions on their movement and contact with others. They absolutely remain under investigation, as we explore multiple lines of inquiry,” Laurence Taylor told reporters on Monday. While the farmer who initially notified authorities of the suspicious activities near her home claims she saw “between eight and 10” men, Defence Secretary Wes Streeting said that she has only “a partial picture” of the incident. The RAF Fairford base has been used to conduct strikes on Iran previously. The Iranian embassy in London, however, has denied the country's involvement in the suspected plot. It is currently under investigation if the five British nationals in their 20s are connected to the Iranian regime. Speaking on the matter, British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said he will chair a meeting of COBRA (Cabinet Office Briefing Rooms) Monday afternoon.
