Police say five U.K. nationals who were arrested near RAF Fairford air base in England, which is used by U.S. forces, have been released on bail.
Investigators haven't concluded whether the incident was state-backed. They are investigating a possible link to Iran, Russia or non-state militant groups.
The five British nationals were detained after a massive security operation near a base the U.S. uses to facilitate strikes on Iran.
