US charges three Iran-backed operatives over attacks on Jewish targets and a plot against RAF Fairford
The US Justice Department unsealed a superseding indictment in Manhattan federal court charging three Iranian and Iraqi nationals with involvement in nearly 20 attacks and attempted attacks in support of Kataeb Hezbollah and Iran's IRGC. The alleged plots included the stabbing of two Jewish men in London, a firebombing of a London synagogue, an attempted bombing of a New York synagogue, and a planned attack on RAF Fairford, a British airbase housing US service members. One defendant, Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi, is in US custody; British police arrested five men in September near the base and later released them on bail.
