英国警方破获针对美军基地的恐怖阴谋

英国警方逮捕了五名男子，他们涉嫌在RAF Fairford空军基地附近策划炸弹恐怖袭击17。这五名男子均为英国国民，来自伦敦7。该基地是美国空军在伊朗战争期间使用的军事设施25。英国当局正在调查伊朗与此事件的可能关联18，而伊朗予以否认9。美国国务院伦敦使馆于2026年9月27日发布了安全警报1。

执法部门在停放在基地附近的三辆货车中发现了爆炸物4。一名当地居民在清晨发现可疑货车后向应急服务部门报警，帮助阻止了这一事件34。英国国防部长韦斯·斯特里廷表示，安全部队事先知悉这一阴谋，并感谢那名举报人的及时行动4。美国总统特朗普表示这些被捕人员意图造成"重大伤害"47。

事件发生在周日清晨，约85户住宅居民被疏散到Cirencester休闲中心，周围400米范围内设置了警戒线4。专家警告，此次挫败的恐怖阴谋表明美国海外军事设施面临更广泛的安全威胁15。

British police have arrested five men on suspicion of planning a bombing attack near RAF Fairford, a United States Air Force base in Gloucestershire, England.127 The men, identified as UK nationals from London, were taken into custody following the discovery of explosives in three vehicles parked near the installation.47 Investigators are examining a potential link to Iran in connection with the alleged plot.138

The US State Department's London embassy issued a security alert on September 27, 2026, regarding the incident.1 A member of the public alerted authorities to suspicious activity at the base during the early morning hours.34 Defence Secretary Wes Streeting thanked this person, stating: "Thank you to that member of the public. She has done exactly what we would hope that someone in that extraordinary situation would do."3 Bomb disposal teams subsequently searched vehicles in the vicinity of the facility.12 As a precautionary measure, approximately 85 residents from nearby Whelford village were evacuated to a leisure centre in Cirencester, and a 400-meter cordon was established around the site.4

Defence Secretary Streeting stated that UK security forces were aware of the alleged plot beforehand.4 President Trump remarked that the arrested individuals intended to cause "big damage" to the base.457 Experts have warned that the foiled attack underscores a broader security threat facing US military installations overseas, particularly those used during military operations in Iran.1256 RAF Fairford has served as a staging point for American air operations targeting Iran.25

However, a farmer who reported the suspicious vehicles to police expressed frustration about the lack of follow-up communication from authorities, stating that officers never returned her calls despite having her contact information.10 Defence Secretary Streeting indicated the farmer had only a "partial understanding" of the situation.10
