00:00US prosecutors say three men accused of directing attacks on Jewish sites in London also orchestrated
00:06a suspected plot against RAF Fairford, an airbase used by US bombers.
00:12An 8-count indictment names two new suspects, Iranian national Mohsen Mohjari, whom prosecutors
00:19describe as an IRGC operative, and Iraqi citizen Mohammed Ali Al-Hassani.
00:24They are charged alongside Mohammed Bakar Al-Saadi, who has been held in New York since May.
00:31Prosecutors say the network was behind attacks in London in April, including one on a synagogue.
00:38The attacks were claimed by Hai, which prosecutors say was a front for the Iraqi armed group Qatayb Hezbollah.
00:46They also alleged Al-Hassani paid associates in Britain to buy vans, fuel barrels and metal objects.
00:53In September, three vans, some carrying fuel, were driven towards RAF Fairford.
00:58At least two were stopped at a security checkpoint.
01:02The vans were found the next morning and the men inside were arrested.
01:06Mohjari and Al-Hassani were in Iran at the time, according to prosecutors.
01:11All three faced terrorism-related charges and could receive life sentences if convicted.
01:16Two British men were also charged in connection with the Fairford incident.
01:20Tehran denies any involvement.
