US Justice Department: Iran-backed group member helped plan attack on UK air base while in prison

Iran ·

The US Justice Department said Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, an Iraqi national, tried to pass coded messages from a jail in New York to two other alleged Iran-backed operatives. He reportedly did so through phone calls to members of his immediate family.

Iran-backed armed groups operate in Iraq and across the region, and US authorities have charged people linked to them with plots against US and allied targets.
