Two 24-year-old men from Westminster have been charged under the National Security Act 2023 after a counter-terrorism investigation into an incident near RAF Fairford. The charges mark the first prosecutions among seven people arrested after police were alerted to three suspicious vehicles near the Gloucestershire airbase on 27 September.

Mohmed Abdulkarim is accused of assisting a foreign intelligence service between 31 August and 28 September; the CPS has not named the service, though it is understood to be Iran. Nouman Essghir is accused of entering a prohibited place for a purpose prejudicial to the UK. Both were due to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court, while the investigation continues.
