WorldUK expert sees US position weakening after bombers withdrawn from British base
Former British diplomat Edmund Fitton-Brown said the sudden withdrawal of US B-1 strategic bombers from RAF Fairford signaled a weakening of the US defense position. He said Britain may need to reassure Washington that it can handle terrorist threats at home. Five people detained near the base on September 27 were later released on bail, and police said no explosives were found in their vans.
