Two British nationals have been charged over an alleged plot to assist Iran's intelligence service as part of the investigation into the incident at RAF Fairford in September.

Mohmed Ahmad Abdulkarim, 24, from Westminster, has been charged with assisting a foreign intelligence service under Section 3 of the National Security Act.

Nouman Essghir, also 24 and from Westminster, has been charged under Section 4 of the same act with entering a prohibited place for a purpose prejudicial to the UK on 22 August - weeks before he was arrested near the airbase in Gloucestershire alongside four other men.

The pair will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Tuesday.

A major incident was declared after three suspicious vans were seen near the US-operated airbase on 27 September.

Dozens of residents were evacuated and a large cordon was put up in the area around the base. No explosive materials were found in the vans by police but a quantity of petrol was seized.

Essghir, from Westminster, was one of five men arrested near the scene in Gloucestershire on suspicion of committing offences under the Explosives Act and later on suspicion of preparation of a terrorist act. All five were released on police bail the following day, but Essghir was re-arrested on 20 October.

So what? They’ll probably just let them go in 2-3 days like they did with the other ones they arrested.

The UK can’t trust many who’ve they’ve allowed into their nation. Nonetheless, London elected a Muslim mayor.

Two British nationals ... Mohmed Ahmad Abdulkarim and ... Nouman Essghir ... both residing in Westminster ... charged with assisting Iran’s intelligence services.

Two traditional British names!
They should be stripped of their British nationality and sent back whence they came, along with all their wives and dependants (that should free up a few council flats in one of the most sought-after locations in London).

The difference is that these have been charged. Those arrested previously were released without charge. That’s a big difference.

All part of the planned takeover. There are a number of English cities now that have moslem mayors.

As suspected, this is virtue signaling by the Brit gov’mt. Since the terrorists are probably Moslem the Brit gov’mt cannot prosecute. They cannot, unless they want riots like in Paris.

> So what? <

Yep. It’s like reading a story about a man who refuses to close his garage door. So thieves are always taking things from it.

At some point you just don’t care about that man. He’s simply too stupid for any sympathy.
