A dual British-Iranian national who was arrested in London Thursday over a suspected terror plot against a US-run airbase in England, has been released on bail, Britain’s Counter Terrorism Policing agency says.

The agency adds that it has concluded searches of two properties in London’s Borough of Westminster, where the 25-year-old suspect was arrested.

The investigation into events at the base, which the US used to bomb Iran, is ongoing, CTP says.
