The suspected terror plot, which would have attacked RAF Fairford, was intercepted after one of the suspects involved rang the police.

One of the five men arrested reportedly called 999 before the group were arrested on suspicion of explosives offences.

The Times reported that police are investigating whether the group members were acting as proxies for Iran.
