Nach Vorfall bei US-Militärbasis: USA ziehen alle Langstreckenbomber aus Großbritannien ab
What happened
The Pentagon withdrew all US long-range bombers from RAF Fairford in Britain and returned them to bases in the United States.
The move followed an investigation into an alleged planned terrorist attack on the base, Tagesschau reported.
A British-Iranian national was arrested in London on Thursday on suspicion of planning a terrorist attack.
Five men were arrested near the base days earlier, and all six suspects have since been released.
The New York Times reported, citing two US officials, that new threats included information about an Iran-backed attack on the base.
The Pentagon did not comment further when asked about the report.
