A UK-Iranian dual national has been arrested on suspicion of preparation of terrorist acts in connection with the incident at RAF Fairford, counter-terror police have said.
The 25-year-old man was arrested in Westminster, London. Two properties in the area have been searched. Five men in their twenties who were arrested near the Gloucestershire airbase on Sunday remain on police bail. All five were UK nationals from London.
Counter-terror police are considering "all possible angles - including foreign state involvement", the force's senior national coordinator Vicki Evans said.
"The investigation into circumstances surrounding events in Gloucestershire is hugely complex, and our specialist teams are interrogating multiple lines of enquiry," she said. "I'd like to thank the public for their continued support and patience whilst we work through this investigation."
Police had initially given the dual UK-Iranian national's age as 27 and said a second man had been questioned under caution, but in a later update said that this was not the case.
