US unveils new indictment over alleged attacks in Europe and America
Three men face charges related to support for terrorist organisations. The case includes an alleged plot at Britain’s RAF Fairford base.
On 10 November the US Justice Department unveiled an eight-count superseding indictment against al-Saadi, Mohajeri and al-Hassani. Prosecutors accuse them, in varying counts, of offences linked to nearly 20 attacks or attempted attacks in Europe and the United States.
The authorities allege that the men acted in support of Kata’ib Hizballah and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The case includes an alleged plot in September 2026 against RAF Fairford, where US forces were stationed. Prosecutors allege that al-Saadi tried to coordinate through third parties while already in federal custody.
The announcement expands an indictment and does not announce three new arrests. The department says al-Saadi has been in US custody since May. Reuters reports that he had pleaded not guilty to earlier charges.
Reuters also reports that Iran has denied involvement in the suspected plot against the British base. The prosecutors’ allegations are not a finding of guilt; the defendants retain the presumption of innocence.
