UK police arrested five men close to an airbase in England that is used by US long-range bombers on suspicion of terror and explosives offenses.
Army bomb disposal units are at the scene while dozens of houses nearby have been evacuated as a precaution with the investigation ongoing.
The arrests were made after information was received from residents in the area soon after midnight, according to Richard Ocone, a senior detective in the county of Gloucestershire. The men have not been identified and no clue has been given about a possible motive.
The UK has so overused the terrorism designation that my first assumption on reading the headline is that this is bullshit.
It’s never been a serious term. When they started calling 9/11 terrorism I was like OK we’ve been doing that to other countries like, ALOT so we should stfu and take the loss.
