The US Justice Department (DOJ) has indicted three men accused of orchestrating nearly 20 attacks and attempted attacks in the United States and Europe, targeting Jewish communities, synagogues and a British military base. The suspects are Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi, a dual Iranian-Iraqi national; Mohsen Mohajeri, an Iranian national; and Mohammed Ali al-Hassani, an Iraqi national. Prosecutors allege they acted on behalf of Iran-backed organisations, including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Kata’ib Hezbollah, both designated as foreign terrorist organisations by the US. The indictment also accuses them of plotting an attack on RAF Fairford in September, where US military aircraft and personnel were stationed. British authorities recovered three vans, some containing fuel, and arrested their occupants before the alleged operation could proceed. Prosecutors further allege that al-Saadi continued coordinating with the other suspects from a US prison through coded messages passed via family members. The three men face terrorism-related charges, but the allegations have yet to be tested in court.
