Two men have been charged with offences under the National Security Act after an incident at RAF Fairford, the Crown Prosecution Service said, BBC News reported. The BBC said the incident happened near the airbase last month and that the charges are national security offences.

The Guardian reported that the two men are Mohmed Abdulkarim, 24, and Nouman Essghir, 24, and that they were charged after an investigation into a "suspected terror plot," the Crown Prosecution Service said. The newspaper said the incident took place in September at RAF Fairford, an airbase used by the United States to strike Iran.

The New York Times, in a report by Megan Specia, said that one of the men is accused of helping Iranian intelligence in connection with events at the base, which it described as a base used by the United States in its war against Iran. The New York Times account carries a headline describing both men as British.

The accounts differ in how they describe the alleged conduct. The Guardian referred to a suspected terror plot, while The New York Times referred to alleged help for Iranian intelligence. BBC News placed the incident near the base, while The Guardian placed it at RAF Fairford. The summaries available for this report do not say what the second man is accused of, and they do not say when either man is due to appear in court.
