美国司法部周二宣布,已起诉3名伊朗背景的工作人员,指控他们密谋袭击英国皇家空军基地,该基地驻扎有美军。
穆罕默德·巴盖尔·萨阿德·达伍德·萨阿迪(Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi)于5月被起诉,联邦指控其密谋向伊朗支持的恐怖组织提供物资支持,包括伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队和真主党旅。周二公开的一份8项罪名的更新起诉书指控他与另外两名工作人员密谋在9月份袭击英国的皇家空军基地。
萨阿迪目前被关押在纽约的联邦看守所。司法部在周二的文件中指控,他通过第三方“向伊朗公民穆罕默德·穆哈吉里(Mohsen Mohajeri)和伊拉克公民穆罕默德·阿里·哈桑尼(Mohammad Ali al-Hassani)传递加密信息”,策划了空军基地袭击行动。
两名了解内情的消息人士向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻网透露,穆哈吉里和哈桑尼目前不在押。
联邦检察官指控,自8月起,萨阿迪“指挥并支付”了英国境内的同伙为袭击费尔福德皇家空军基地做准备和安排,包括指使一名未具名人员对该空军基地进行监视。随后,萨阿迪还支付了多名未具名人员安排货车、桶装燃料,并研究化学助燃剂、购买金属用作潜在袭击的弹片。
起诉书指控,3人将驾驶装满燃料的货车前往费尔福德皇家空军基地并引爆。
检察官称,萨阿迪指示这些人在货车上粘贴定制标签,伪装成燃料运输或泳池供应公司,并要求自己的家人向同谋传递信息。
在7月与姐姐的一次通话中,萨阿迪让姐姐向穆哈吉里传递关于“工作”的信息,暗指恐怖活动,并询问部分“工作”是否取消或暂停。
萨阿迪的姐姐回复称,相关“工作”并未取消。
9月24日,萨阿迪据称询问哈桑尼的近况,并指示家人“给他钱,这样我们就能实施计划”,指的是费尔福德皇家空军基地袭击行动。
起诉书随后指控,哈桑尼于9月26日指挥3人驾驶货车前往费尔福德皇家空军基地。起诉书称,其中两辆货车在安检关卡受阻,无法按原计划前往基地。
联邦检察官表示,英国执法部门已查获3辆贴有燃料运输公司标签的货车,并逮捕了司机。
检察官此前指控萨阿迪曾密谋在美国实施恐怖袭击,包括针对纽约一家知名犹太机构。他们还指控,自3月以来,萨阿迪“参与策划、实施和宣传”了欧洲约18起、加拿大2起针对美国和以色列目标的恐怖袭击,以报复美国和以色列针对伊朗的军事行动。
司法部长托德·布兰奇(Todd Blanche)在一份声明中表示:“任何在驻扎有美军的军事基地策划恐怖阴谋的人,都将受到美国政府的起诉。”
3 Iran-backed operatives indicted in U.S. for alleged role in terror plot at U.K. air base

Three Iran-backed operatives have been charged with plotting a terrorist attack at a British Royal Air Force base in the United Kingdom where U.S. troops are stationed, the Justice Department announced on Tuesday.
Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi was indicted in May on federal charges of conspiracy to provide material support to Iran-backed terrorist organizations, including Iran’sIslamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Kata’ib Hizballah. He is accused in an eight-count superseding indictment made public Tuesday of attempting to coordinate with two other operatives to attack the British Royal Air Force base in the U.K. in September.
Al-Saadi is currently in federal custody in New York. In Tuesday’s filing, the Justice Department alleged that he had plotted the air base attack with Mohsen Mohajeri, an Iranian national, and Mohammad Ali al-Hassani, an Iraqi national, by “passing them coded messages through third parties.”
Mohajeri and al-Hassani are not in custody, two sources familiar with the matter told CBS News.
Federal prosecutors allege that beginning in August, Al-Saadi “directed and paid” associates in the United Kingdom to prepare for and arrange an attack at RAF Fairford, including directing an unnamed individual to conduct surveillance at the air base. Al-Saadi then allegedly later paid multiple unnamed people to organize vans and barrels of fuel, and to research chemical accelerants and buy metal to be used as shrapnel for a potential attack.
The indictment alleges that three individuals would then drive the vans, filled with fuel, to RAF Fairford, where they would explode.
Prosecutors say Al-Saadi told the individuals to mark the vans with custom decals to disguise themselves as a fuel delivery or pool supply business and directed his family members to pass messages to his co-conspirators.
In one phone call with his sister from July, Al-Saadi asked his sister to pass on messages to Mohajeri about “work,” referring to terrorist activity, and asked if some of their work was canceled or paused.
Al-Saadi’s sister replied that the work “isn’t cancelled.”
On Sept. 24, Al-Saadi allegedly asked how al-Hassani was, and instructed his family to “give him money so we can do it,” referring to the RAF Fairford attack.
The indictment then alleges that al-Hassani directed three individuals to drive the vans on Sept. 26 to RAF Fairford. Two of the vans encountered security checkpoints and were not able to proceed on their intended route to the base, the indictment alleges.
Federal prosecutors said that law enforcement authorities in the United Kingdom recovered three vans with fuel delivery business decals on them and arrested the drivers.
Prosecutors previously alleged that Al-Saadi had plotted to carry out terror attacks in the U.S., including at a prominent Jewish institution in New York. They also accused him of being “involved in the planning, execution and promotion” of approximately 18 reported terror attacks in Europe and two in Canada against U.S. and Israeli interests since March, in retaliation against the U.S. and Israel’s military actions in Iran.
In a statement, Attorney General Todd Blanche said “anyone who plans a terrorist plot on a military base housing American servicemembers will be prosecuted by the United States government.”
