3 Iranian-backed men indicted in attempted plot on RAF Fairford

Federal prosecutors allege that an Iranian terrorist proxy group’s commander, alongside two other men, assisted in orchestrating the suspected terror plot on a United Kingdom military base from jail while awaiting trial on other pending terrorism charges. From jail in New York, Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi, a dual Iranian-Iraqi national, allegedly coordinated with Mohammad Ali al-Hassani and Mohsen Mohajeri, an Iraqi and Iranian national, respectively, to organize the recent failed terror attack on RAF Fairford, according to a recent Department of Justice release. The three men allegedly conspired to commit nearly 20 terrorist attacks and attempted attacks across Europe and the U.S. in the name of two Iran-aligned terrorist networks that are designated by the U.S. as Foreign Terrorist Organizations, per an eight-count indictment.
