man and a 31-year-old Romanian woman have been arrested and charged in connection
with the incident. "They are due to appear at Dumbarton Sheriff Court on Monday, March 23.

are capable of launching Tomahawk land-attack cruise missiles, striking targets with high
precision hundreds of miles inland. It comes as two men were charged on suspicion of
spying for Iran after allegedly targeting Jews in London...'
