Three men have been charged with plotting terrorist attacks, including a planned assault on a British air base, according to an indictment unsealed on Tuesday. The charges stem from an incident that began on September 27, when three vans were observed heading towards a British air base housing U.S. bombers. The primary suspect, Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi, a dual Iranian-Iraqi national held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, is accused of coordinating the attack on the Royal Air Force Base in Fairford, England.
Prosecutors allege that al-Saadi utilized coded language in phone and video conversations with family members in Iraq to communicate instructions to conspirators. Two additional individuals have also been charged in connection with the alleged plot, which reportedly involved nearly 20 terror strikes, possibly instigated by Iran-backed operatives.
