British police said five men arrested near an airbase used by the United States had been released on bail while an investigation into a suspected bomb plot continued.

Washington said a “foreign actor” was involved, according to France 24. US President Donald Trump said he was surprised that the men had been released.

British Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced an emergency meeting of senior officials to ensure they had “the full picture.”

HOW THIS STORY WAS MADE
