The U.S. Department of Justice has filed charges against an Iranian terror network, comprising three operatives from the Revolutionary Guards and the Iraqi militia Kata'ib Hezbollah, for allegedly planning attacks against Jewish targets. The indictment also links them to an attempted attack on the British RAF Fairford air base last September, which housed American forces. According to the charges, the network prepared three vehicles packed with fuel barrels to assault the base, but the plot was thwarted.
Further revelations indicate that Mohammad al-Saadi, a commander in the militia arrested in May on suspicion of involvement in approximately 20 attacks and attempted attacks, including against Jews, continued to operate the network even from his detention cell in New York.
