A seventh arrest has been made in connection with a suspected terror plot at a U.K. air base used by the U.S.
Officials said a 22-year-old British man was arrested today.
The suspects are accused plotting an attack on RAF Fairford, with U.K. officials saying there are strong indications Iran was involved.
The incident prompted the U.S. to remove all of its B-1 bombers for the base. The U.S. has also increased security at other military bases in Britain, including RAF Lakenheath, where American fighter jets are stationed.
