US prosecutors allege that the men accused of directing a wave of attacks on Jewish sites in London earlier this year also orchestrated September’s suspected plot against an airbase in England used by US bombers.
The eight-count indictment was announced in Manhattan on Tuesday. It names two men for the first time: Mohsen Mohajeri, 48, an Iranian national prosecutors describe as an operative of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and Mohammed Ali al-Hassani, 35, an Iraqi citizen.
