'Suspected terror plot at RAF Fairford is test for Burnham and UK security' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Prime Minister Andy Burnham has confirmed what many believed was likely from the start of the RAF Fairford mystery. That the Government believed Iran "played a part in what happened over the weekend at RAF Fairford", which prompted the arrest and then bailing of five men seized close to the mainly US airbase on Sunday. It has promoted a further storm of confusion and hysteria cast by right-wing commentators, furious that the five suspects arrested have been released under conditions. But there a
'Israel has led way on security for decades - attempted hijacking exposes issue' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The near-disastrous 9-11 style attack on a pilot on a jetliner travelling to Israel will trigger a massive security clampdown.

'RAF Fairford police "likely already probing plot" when farmer raised alarm' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It is very likely the seizure of five men allegedly about to attack RAF Fairford was intelligence-led. That so many armed police arrived on scene within minutes would seem to indicate a surveillance operation was already underway. So it could well be that the farmer did indeed stumble upon these suspects in the early hours, but that an intense counter-terrorism mission was already taking place. That police and the Security Service were already aware and that the farmer discovered the group near
