US bombers withdrawn October 4; named in US indictment as target of alleged Iran-backed plot
A farmer's call from a lane near RAF Fairford at 1:36 am on September 27 led police to five British men in vans carrying petrol. Police found no explosives. Eight men have since been arrested; two were charged under the National Security Act on October 27, and one of them, Nouman Essghir, 24, is in custody awaiting a November 20 hearing at the Old Bailey.
