U.S. authorities have charged three men with plotting a campaign of nearly 20 attacks targeting Jewish communities in Europe and the U.S., along with a British military base, RAF Fairford. Charges against a dual Iranian-Iraqi national, an Iranian national and an Iraqi national were outlined in a superseding indictment unsealed Tuesday in Manhattan federal court. U.S. Attorney Jamie McDonald in New York said the dual Iranian-Iraqi national had continued to coordinate with his co-defendants in the days leading up to an attempted September terrorist plot at the British Royal Air Force Base in Fairford, where U.S. bombers were stationed. The arrests prompted the U.S. military to withdraw its bombers to their home bases in the United States.

Somali pirates have hijacked an Iranian fishing boat called the Azini with 23 people on board. The Maritime Security Center Indian Ocean says the vessel was approaching a commercial shipping lane and could be used as a base for more attacks. The crew’s safety is unknown.

The Iran war and threats from Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels have already disrupted shipping routes and pushed up the cost of transporting oil. A maritime security officer with the Puntland Maritime Police Force said Sunday that the Azini was hijacked Thursday between the coastal towns of Bandar Bayla and Hafun in northeastern Somalia.
