The United States announced charges against three men suspected of working for a network linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guard and Iraq's Kataib Hezbollah, accusing them of involvement in about twenty attacks and attempted attacks targeting sites in the United States and Europe. The indictment included a plot targeting Britain's Fairford air base last September, along with plots targeting Jewish gatherings in European countries and a synagogue in New York.
The earliest reports focused on the link to the attack on the Fairford base in Britain and attributed the news to Agence France-Presse, while later reports widened the description to include planning for multiple terrorist attacks; the most detailed account attributed the charges to the US Department of Justice and named the groups the accused were suspected of working for, the number of attacks and their targets in Europe and the United States.
