US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he understood why people were “disturbed” after five suspects arrested over a suspected terror plot near RAF Fairford were released on bail on Monday (28 September). Rubio said some of those arrested were still being investigated and had been “very cooperative and very helpful” in what he described as a “very serious incident”.
