REDSTATE (Ward Clark) - US Pulls All 12 B-1 Bombers From British Base After New Iran Threat
Over the weekend, the United States Department of War yanked all 12 of the B-1B (Bone) Lancer strategic bombers that had been based at the RAF Fairford base. This is the base that was the apparent target of a possible terror attack earlier in the week. The bombers were removed, according to U.S. officials as reported in a New York Times story, because of an unspecified threat from Iran.
What specific security event led to the relocation of American bombers from the RAF Fairford base?
The relocation was prompted by a possible terror attack that occurred earlier in the week, which targeted the RAF Fairford base. This, combined with an unspecified threat from Iran, led U.S. officials to yank the 12 B-1B Lancer bombers from the site over the weekend.
