Foiled plot: did Iran plan British base attack?

What the coverage shows

NPR and the South China Morning Post both frame the story around British police investigating whether arrests near a U.S.-run base foiled an attack linked to Iran, and both mention five men and suspected explosives. The South China Morning Post adds that the men were detained early on Sunday, a detail not in NPR’s extract. The Economist is much less informative from the available text, using only the headline “Foiled plot: did Iran plan British base attack?” and offering no further extract on the event.
