NEW YORK (Lord Media): U.S. prosecutors claim that Iran-backed militia commander Mohammad Baqir Saad Dawood Al-Saadi directed a failed attack on a UK airbase from a Brooklyn jail. Al-Saadi, arrested in Turkiye, is accused of plotting attacks on Jewish sites in the U.S.

Al-Saadi is held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where his communications are limited. However, he allegedly sent coded messages during summer conversations with his mother and sister, instructing them to relay these to his associates.

Prosecutors state that the target of the plot was RAF Fairford, a U.S. military-used airbase in southern England. The new indictment also names Iranian Mohsen Mahajeri and Iraqi Mohammad Ali Al-Hassani.

U.S. Attorney Jamie McDonald said the three individuals aided campaigns of Iran-affiliated terrorist organizations. The new charges emerge amid rising threats of attacks by Iran and its proxies.
