Officers from Counter Terrorism Policing South East (CTPSE) arrested further two men from London, aged 22 and 24, on Saturday (June 28) on suspicion of commissioning, preparing or instigating acts of terrorism, contrary to Section 41 of the Terrorism Act 2000.
Two Voyager aircraft were damaged during the break-in at the Oxfordshire airbase led by campaign group Palestine Action, soon to be proscribed as a terror group in the UK, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has confirmed.
Counter terrorism police also made four arrests in Newbury and London on Thursday (June 26).
A 29-year-old woman and two men, aged 36 and 24, were arrested on the same charges as the two men.
