Summary
The U.S. charged three individuals in connection with alleged Iranian-linked terror plots, including a September scheme against a British Royal Air Force Base that housed U.S. military personnel and aircraft, per an indictment unsealed Tuesday. The big picture: The indictment alleges that a leader of an Islamic terrorist group attempted to coordinate with his fellow defendants from jail by passing coded messages through third parties. Driving the news: Since early in the year, the three men named in the indictment worked to commit terror attacks on behalf of an Iran-aligned terrorist network, the indictment alleges. This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
