Two Men Charged Over Suspected Plot at U.S.-Run RAF Fairford Base in England
Two British men, Mohmed Abdulkarim and Nouman Essghir, both 24 and from London, have been charged under the UK's National Security Act for suspected involvement in a plot targeting RAF Fairford, a U.S.-operated military base in England. Abdulkarim faces charges of assisting Iran's intelligence service, while Essghir is charged with entering a prohibited place for a prejudicial purpose. Authorities linked the incident to Iran, which denies involvement. The case follows arrests and evacuations near the base in late September, with investigations ongoing.
