Lawrence Taylor, the British National Police's head of counter-terrorism, announced on Tuesday, November 5, that two 24-year-old British men had been charged in connection with the incident at Farford Air Force Base, where American forces are stationed. British police accused one of these men of collaborating with an intelligence service linked to the Islamic Republic. Muhammad Ahmed Abdulkarim is accused of collaborating with a foreign intelligence service, which British police say belongs to the Islamic Republic. Another defendant, Noman al-Asgir, is a dual British-Iranian national who was arrested outside this base and charged with acting against British interests. In an interview with the media, Taylor said: "In recent months, we have witnessed a series of incidents that we believe were carried out at the behest of the Iranian government."
