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. 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. They were released on bail the following day in what police described as an "investigative decision" which was "grounded in experience and strategy". US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that the incident "clearly involves the hand of a foreign actor". Tap the link in @BBCNews’s bio for more. #BBCNews
