He declined to provide further details, saying: \u201cI know the answer. I can be very specific, but I\u2019d rather not say.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>The five men were arrested early Sunday near the base in western England after a local farmer reported seeing three large white vans and a group of \u201chooded and masked men\u201d running into a nearby field.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>Armed officers from Gloucestershire Police arrested the men in the Whelford area, about a mile from RAF Fairford. They were initially detained on suspicion of offences under the Explosives Act before counter-terrorism police took over the investigation and arrested them on suspicion of preparing a terrorist act.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>About 85 households were evacuated from properties near the vehicles, while a 400-metre cordon was established around them.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>British counter-terrorism police said the men, all British nationals aged between 23 and 25 from the London area, would remain under investigation despite their release.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>Laurence Taylor, head of UK Counter Terrorism Policing, said they were being released following \u201cextensive interviews and inquiries\u201d.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>\u201cThey are subject to stringent conditions on their movement and contact with others,\u201d Taylor said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>Taylor later said investigators were examining the incident from \u201cevery possible angle\u201d, including whether offences had been committed \u201cby proxies or individuals either knowingly or unknowingly working on behalf of a foreign state.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>The development came as Prime Minister Andy Burnham chaired a COBRA meeting, the UK committee responsible for handling national emergencies.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>RAF Fairford has been used by US forces for missions against Iran and is one of the few US Air Force bases in Europe capable of hosting heavy bombers. The base has also played a role in major US military operations, including the first Gulf War in 1991 and the invasion of Iraq in 2003.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>Britain said in July that its armed forces were ready to protect Fairford after Iran\u2019s Revolutionary Guards warned against allowing US bombers to operate from the base, saying bases used to launch attacks would be legitimate targets.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>Police are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the arrests and the possibility of foreign-state involvement. The release of the five men on bail does not indicate that the investigation has ended.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a
