US Terror Case Links Incarcerated Suspect to UK and RAF Fairford Incidents

An updated US indictment reveals that a terror suspect jailed in New York allegedly continued directing attacks in the UK, including an incident near RAF Fairford.

An updated US Department of Justice indictment reveals that Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi, held in a New York jail, managed to pass messages to associates while awaiting trial. Investigators listening in heard al-Saadi instruct associates to fund operations, linking him directly to coordinated terror and arson campaigns in Britain. Among these incidents is a September event near RAF Fairford in a Cotswold village. British officials previously stated the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps was almost certainly behind the Fairford incident, and a US indictment has now named Mohammed Ali al-Hassani as a key handler directing operations.
