“U.S. charges 3 men with plotting terror attacks, including planned assault on UK airbase,” PBS, 11-10-26.  What a big story.  But no surprise.  “Three men, including one already jailed in the United States, were accused by U.S. authorities Tuesday of being Iran-supported operatives who plotted nearly 20 attacks on Jewish communities in Europe and the U.S. as well as a planned assault on a British airbase used by the U.S. Air Force. Charges against Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi, a dual Iranian-Iraqi national; Mohsen Mohajeri, an Iranian national; and Mohammad Ali al-Hassani, an Iraqi national, were outlined in a superseding indictment unsealed in Manhattan federal court. Only al-Saadi is in custody. U.S. Attorney Jamie McDonald in New York said in a news release that al-Saadi, who was arrested in the spring, continued to coordinate with his co-defendants in the days leading up to the attempted September terrorist plot at a British Royal Air Force Base in Fairford, United Kingdom, where U.S. bombers and troops had been stationed. “These defendants helped orchestrate a campaign of terror on behalf of terrorist organizations affiliated with Iran that targeted Jewish communities in Europe and the United States, and the British military base, RAF Fairford, housing American service members,” McDonald said. “The threat presented by Iran and Iran-backed terrorist groups to America and our allies is not hypothetical — it is very real.” … According to the indictment, al-Saadi used coded language in communications with relatives from jail to direct that money be passed along to others who could carry out attacks. The indictment alleged that the three men conspired together to use a network of contacts in the United Kingdom to commit terrorist attacks on behalf of an Iran-aligned terrorist network, which included the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Kata’ib Hizballah. In June, al-Saadi pleaded not guilty to charges that he plotted at least 18 attacks in Europe in retaliation for the U.S. and Israel’s war with Iran. He called himself a “prisoner of war.” He has been held without bail since. His lawyers did not immediately respond to requests for comment Tuesday on the latest development. Both Kata’ib Hizballah and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps have been designated by the U.S. government as foreign terrorist organizations. U.S. prosecutors say Al-Saadi was a Kata’ib Hizballah commander.

“Overseas Handler Linked to Iran Behind Foiled RAF Air Base Attack,” WSJ, 10-27-26.  “British prosecutors alleged Tuesday that a man linked to Iran’s intelligence services was behind a plot to target an RAF air base in September, a move that led the U.S. to pull out a dozen heavy bombers based there.  Prosecutor Louise Gray told the court that two men charged in connection with the incident at Fairford air base were being handled by an overseas man named “Ali” believed to be linked to Iran’s intelligence services.  Ali directed the operation, in which several British nationals drove three white vans, two of which were carrying drums of fuel, to just outside the base, Gray said. Shortly after, the handler contacted them to tell them there was a bomb in one of the vans, prompting them to flee and one of the men to call police, she said. … The incident in September rattled police, who evacuated the area and deployed robots to inspect the vans before declaring that they had only found fuel. U.S. officials have since said they believe the incident was part of a larger plan that involved using drones to attack the bombers. Shortly after, U.S. bombers were flown out of Fairford as a precautionary measure.  On Tuesday, police formally charged two British men in connection with the case. Nouman Essghir, 24, a British national from London, was charged with national-security offenses for inspecting a “prohibited space.” Gray, the prosecutor, said Essghir had been tasked by Ali to conduct surveillance on Fairford, which American B-1 bombers used to take off for bombing runs during the continuing conflict with Iran. Essghir was one of five men initially arrested in the case and later released on bail. He was then rearrested and charged formally on Tuesday. Mohmed Ahmad Abdulkarim, a 24-year-old British national, was charged with assisting a foreign intelligence service, which police suspect to be Iran. Abdulkarim was first arrested in the weeks after the incident at Fairford. …  Abdulkarim wasn’t among the five men arrested that night. Prosecutors allege he helped organize the plot, acting as a U.K.-based intermediary for Ali. The 24-year-old accessed around £65,000, equivalent to about $86,500, from Ali to purchase the vans and other equipment, such as cellphones, used in the plot. He was later arrested by police. Gray told the court that the two men had been in contact with Ali for years. She said that Ali is also potentially connected to a separate incident earlier this year when an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-linked group called Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiyya, or the Islamic Movement of the Righteous Companions, posted a video claiming to target the Israeli Embassy in London with drones carrying a dangerous substance. No evidence of chemical weapons was found and police say the embassy wasn’t attacked. The shadowy group also claimed responsibility for a string of antisemitic arson attacks across Europe. U.S. officials believe that a branch of the IRGC recruited British nationals to attempt a complex multistage attack that included using drones to target B-1 bombers at Fairford and a diversion in the neighborhood nearby. Shortly after the initial arrests, the U.S. moved the bombers from Fairford, fearing they remained at risk from further attacks, officials said.” Ali will be Quds Force.  In short, this follows the playbook of Iran worldwide.  For years.
