Britain’s Burnham Calls Emergency Meeting Over Fairford Attack Plot

British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said Monday he had called an emergency crisis meeting over a plot to attack Fairford base.

The announcement followed the detention of five British nationals in connection with the planned attack.

Fairford is used by the United States, putting a facility serving American operations at the centre of the security concern.

The brief announcement did not provide further details about the alleged plot or the identities of those detained.
