WASHINGTON: The Pentagon confirmed reports Sunday that the United States has withdrawn all B-1 bomber planes from Royal Air Force Fairford, the UK airbase where a suspicious incident triggered nearby evacuations.
A statement from a Pentagon official said “we can acknowledge now that all U.S. bombers that were deployed to RAF Fairford have re-deployed to their home stations in the United States.”
The statement noted that “operational security precluded us from confirming the movement of our assets and forces in real-time.”
