Three Iran-backed operatives were accused of orchestrating a terrorist plot at a US Air Force base in the United Kingdom.
An eight count indictment unsealed on Tuesday alleged the trio carried out attacks in Europe under the group HAYI. It accused them of arsons, explosives and a near fatal stabbing in London that wounded two Jewish men, including a dual US British citizen. One suspect, a dual Iranian Iraqi national, was accused of communicating with contacts in the UK from a New York prison, while the other two were accused of doing the same from Iran. Iran has denied involvement in the September incident at RAF Fairford, where three suspicious vans were linked to the plot.
