London [Uk], November 15: A suspect charged in the US for plotting the incident at RAF Fairford was stripped of his British citizenship last month after he fled to the Middle East, according to reports.
Mohammed Ali al-Hassani, a dual Iranian Iraqi national, is one of three men charged in the US with masterminding 18 Iran-backed terrorist plots in Europe.
US officials allege Al-Hassani "directed and paid associates in the United Kingdom to conduct preparatory steps and arrange logistics for the RAF Fairford" plot from Iran.
The Times has now reported that Al-Hassani was a UK citizen until his status was revoked last month.
The paper claims that the Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, had written to the suspect to say the decision had been taken because of national security concerns.
