FIVE men have been arrested over a suspected terrorist plot to bomb an RAF base as a robot probes three vans and 85 homes are evacuated.
The Army’s specialist bomb disposal team was scrambled to the scene to examine the vehicles after the men were arrested under the Explosives Act.
Three suspicious vehicles were spotted heading for RAF Fairford early this morning with police alerted and armed cops scrambled to the scene.
A total of 85 locals were evacuated from their homes in Whelford, Gloucestershire, near RAF Fairford and taken to a nearby leisure centre with police declaring a major incident early this morning.

Whelford resident Julian Tudsbery, who has lived in the village for 30 years said a resident had reported three “suspicious vans” in the village in the early hours of Sunday morning.
“Evidently, they phoned the airbase police, who didn’t answer the phone,” he said. “It just rang out so she dialled 999.”
LONDON (AP) — U.K. police said Sunday that five men arrested in the middle of the night near an air base used by the United States during its war against Iran are being held on suspicion of preparing a terrorist act that appeared to involve three trucks.
London’s Metropolitan Police, which takes the lead on potential terrorist activities, said police received a call at 12:45 a.m. related to the three suspicious vehicles that appeared to be traveling toward RAF Fairford, a U.K.-owned base that is operated by the U.S. under an agreement dating back to the Cold War.
Fairford has been used by American bombers for strictly limited strikes against Iranian missile sites under an agreement with former British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who voiced opposition to the war after it was launched by the U.S. and Israel on Feb. 28.

U.S. President Donald Trump heaped praise on those involved with the arrests.
“It was an amazing job. We had them under investigation. They were looking to do big damage to our fort. And working with the British worked out great,” he told reporters in Chicago. “We had them under view for a long time and we got them.”
President Donald Trump says that he has approved new fuel economy standards that should cut the costs of the vehicle market.
“BIG DAY FOR AMERICAN AUTO WORKERS AND CAR BUYERS! I have just approved new Fuel Economy Standards that TERMINATE Sleepy Joe Biden and Pete Boot-EDGE-EDGE's ridiculous EV Mandate," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "The Dumocrats cost our Great Auto Manufacturers $Billions, forced Americans into cars they never wanted, and wasted Billions on Chargers that were never built.”
The new standards terminate the EPA’s electric vehicle mandate.
"These new Standards will take the waste out of building cars in America. That means LOWER PRICES, saving families thousands on a new, beautiful, and safe car," Trump wrote. “Far better than the Environmental Monsters that we were building heretofore. Every Manufacturer, from General Motors to Ford to Stellantis, has called me wanting to build here, and now they can!”
The final rule isn’t available yet. Under former President Joe Biden, the EPA had ordered about 67 percent of new light-duty and medium-duty vehicle sales to be electric by 2032.
Democratic Representative Ro Khanna is calling on Israel to release Marwan Barghouti from prison. Barghouti is a terrorist who was convicted of five counts of murder.
In a video statement posted to X on Friday, Khanna said Palestinians must “choose their own leaders” and argued Barghouti could play a role in establishing a Palestinian state that lives peacefully alongside Israel. Barghouti is seen as a potential successor to Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas despite being in prison.
“Barghouti has a unique standing among all Palestinian factions. He’s seen as non-corrupt, a strong leader and secular. Barghouti could deliver a Palestinian state living in peace with Israel,” Khanna said.
