Rubio Plays Down Link Between Fairford Bomber Exit and Plot

Rubio Plays Down Link Between Fairford Bomber Exit and Plot

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says he would not directly tie the withdrawal of American bombers from RAF Fairford to the suspected terror plot targeting the Gloucestershire base. He said moving assets for exercises and redeployments is not unusual, and praised British cooperation. US officials told The New York Times the move followed more specific threat details. Downing Street insists the base is safe.
