DOJ charges over RAF Fairford plot

Three people tied to Iran face charges from the DOJ over what prosecutors describe as a plan to hit RAF Fairford, the British airfield where American troops and aircraft are stationed. The accused are connected to the IRGC and Kata'ib Hizballah, and the allegation is that they scouted the site and rigged three vans to hold fuel drums along with shrapnel pieces. Those vehicles never got near the base, since British police stopped them first. One of the suspects, already in U.S. custody, is said to have kept sending coded orders out from behind bars, and that same man had earlier been charged with directing around 18 attacks in Europe, among them strikes on Jewish sites and synagogues.
