A dual Iranian-Iraqi national allegedly directed the failed plot against RAF Fairford, the British airbase hosting U.S. B-1 bombers, while imprisoned in New York, according to a federal indictment. Mohammad Dawood al-Saadi, a Kataib Hezbollah commander, reportedly used coded prison calls to arrange funding and coordinate with IRGC operative Mohsen Mohajeri and Mohammad Ali al-Hassani. The plot involved fuel-filled vans intended as explosives, which British police intercepted in September. According to prosecutors, al-Hassani arranged surveillance of the base, financed the acquisition of vehicles and fuel, and maintained contact with the drivers. Prosecutors cited a recorded call from September 24 in which al-Saadi instructed relatives to “give him money so we can do it.” Al-Saadi has pleaded not guilty to the initial charges and remains under strict communication restrictions.
