Petrol but no explosives found in vehicles near RAF Fairford
Original: 'Quantity of petrol' but no explosives found in three vehicles near RAF Fairford
Police stopped three vehicles near RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire and found a quantity of petrol, but no explosives were discovered, according to BBC News. The base is regularly used by US Air Force aircraft and has previously drawn protests, so any police activity nearby quickly attracts public attention. No injuries or arrests have been reported so far, and the reason the vehicles were carrying the fuel remains unclear.
Why now: Police activity with vehicles carrying petrol near a sensitive US military base is prompting concern about a possible security threat.
