US charges three over alleged terror plot targeting UK's RAF Fairford airbase

The US Justice Department has charged three individuals, including one already in jail, over an alleged terrorist plot targeting the RAF Fairford airbase in Britain. The plot, which occurred in September, involved the planning and direction of the incident at the base, which has been used by the US military in its operations against Iran.

The men, Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi, Mohsen Mohajeri, and Mohammad Ali al-Hassani, allegedly helped plan and coordinate the attack, with Al-Hassani directing individuals to drive to the base in vans containing barrels of fuel. The US charging document states that Al-Hassani paid the group to buy metallic objects for use as shrapnel and to disguise the vehicles as fuel delivery services.

US Attorney General Todd Blanche stated that anyone who plans a terrorist plot on a military base housing American servicemembers will be prosecuted by the United States government.
