反恐警察表示,在对英国西部RAF费尔福德附近的三辆面包车进行搜查时,发现了大量汽油,但未发现爆炸装置。
A quantity of petrol but no explosive devices were found during searches of the three vans near RAF Fairford in the west of England, counter-terror police have said.
周日凌晨,当这些车辆被发现时,五名20多岁的英国籍男子因涉嫌爆炸物罪和后来的恐怖主义罪被捕,引发了围绕这座由美军运营的基地的重大安全事件。
Five men, all UK nationals in their 20s, were arrested on suspicion of explosives offences and later terrorism offences after the vehicles were spotted in the early hours of Sunday, sparking a major security incident around the base which is operated by the US military.
他们于次日被保释,警方将此描述为一项“基于经验和策略”的“调查决定”。
They were released on bail the following day in what police described as an "investigative decision" which was "grounded in experience and strategy".
此前,美国国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥表示,显然有“外国行为者”参与其中。
It comes after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said it was clear a "foreign actor" had been involved.
反恐警察负责人劳伦斯·泰勒表示,周日上午的警方响应是基于“一系列信息”,包括一名公众成员关于基地附近“多辆车辆行为可疑”的举报。他补充说,他希望能在周三之前关闭“调查现场”。
Laurence Taylor, head of Counter Terrorism Policing, said the police response on Sunday morning was due to "a range of information", including a call from a member of public about "several vehicles acting suspiciously" close to the base. He added that he hoped to close the "investigative scenes" by Wednesday.
