## Key points

- US prosecutors charged three men over alleged attacks.
- Hassani is accused of directing the RAF Fairford plot.
- Seven men have been arrested in the UK.

## Summary

US prosecutors say three men directed or helped plan nearly 20 alleged attacks in Europe and the United States, including a plot targeting RAF Fairford. The case matters because investigators allege the suspects coordinated across borders, with one directing activity in Britain from abroad.

The Justice Department says Mohammad Ali al-Hassani, 35, directed preparations for the Fairford plot, including surveillance and efforts to obtain vans, fuel and other materials. Police found three vans near the base early on 27 September; seven men have been arrested in the UK in connection with the plot. Prosecutors also allege an attack in Europe was directed over a FaceTime call, while Iran denies involvement in the Fairford plot.
