Police say five men arrested at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire are all UK nationals from London. The arrests were carried out by counter-terrorism police, and details about the alleged motive or any charges have not been disclosed. The base has previously been the site of protests and security incidents, and the case has drawn attention to security around military airfields.
Why now: Counter-terrorism arrests at a military airbase naturally raise public concern and questions about security and motive.
