U.S. removes all B-1 bombers from UK air base amid safety concerns after suspected terror plot | 4 Oct 2026 | The United States has decided to remove all of its B-1 bombers from an air base in the United Kingdom following a suspected terror plot in the country. Around a dozen American bombers were stationed at the RAF Fairford air base, located northwest of London, until the Pentagon made the move on Sunday. The air base was used as a hub for launching bomber strikes in Iran. This comes one week after five male suspects were arrested over an alleged terror plot that unfolded at the base. The suspects were released on bail by police in England.
