Two Latvian men arrested at RAF Molesworth released on bail
British counter-terrorism police said two Latvian men arrested inside RAF Molesworth had been released on bail with strict conditions while an investigation continues.
London, United Kingdom. British counter-terrorism police said on Friday that two Latvian men arrested on Thursday inside RAF Molesworth, a Royal Air Force base in eastern England used by US forces, had been released on bail.
Investigation continues
Police said the men, aged 32 and 36, had been released with strict conditions while the investigation continues.
“A key line of enquiry remains to identify any potential motivation behind why the men were at that location, and this includes whether it may be connected to any criminal activity,” said Commander Helen Flanagan, Head of Counter Terrorism Policing London, which is leading the investigation.
No link identified to suspected Fairford plot
The arrests came weeks after a suspected plot targeting RAF Fairford, another British airbase used by the US military, raised concerns about security at military sites across Britain.
Police said there was nothing so far to suggest the incident at RAF Molesworth was linked to the suspected plot against RAF Fairford in western England. The US military has used Fairford to launch missions against Iran.
