British authorities defend decision to let terror suspects go on bail

British authorities defended their decision to let a group of young men go free, even as investigators look into a suspected terror plot near an air base there that was used by the U.S. military in its war against Iran. Ramy Inocencio reports from London.

What the coverage shows

CBS News and NPR both lead with the five suspects being freed on bail after arrests tied to a suspected terror plot near a military or air base used by the U.S. military. NPR’s extract stays closer to the detention and the base’s role, while CBS adds that the arrest was high-profile, names President Trump’s criticism of the release, and says investigators are digging into the men’s backgrounds.
