One of the three men is an Iranian citizen, another is an Iraqi citizen, and the third holds citizenship in both countries, according to the indictment filed in a New York court on Tuesday.
“The suspects helped orchestrate a campaign of terror on behalf of a terrorist organization with links to Iran that targeted Jewish sites in Europe and the United States, as well as RAF Fairford,” prosecutor Jamie McDonald said in a press release.
The indictment follows the arrest of several men after an incident at RAF Fairford, 100 miles west of London, in late September. The incident is suspected of being linked to a planned terrorist attack. Shortly afterwards, the United States decided to recall all its bombers from the air base.
