Two Men Charged in UK Over Suspected Plot at RAF Fairford Military Base
Two British men, Mohmed Abdulkarim and Nouman Essghir, both aged 24 and from London, have been charged under the UK's National Security Act over a suspected plot linked to RAF Fairford, a U.S.-operated military base in England. Abdulkarim faces charges of assisting a foreign intelligence service believed to be Iran's, while Essghir is charged with entering a prohibited site for a purpose prejudicial to the UK. The incident in September led to evacuations and the withdrawal of U.S. bombers. Investigations continue with six others on bail, and Iran denies involvement.
