A man charged in the US for plotting the RAF Fairford terror plot was stripped of his British citizenship last month after he fled to the Middle East, according to reports.

Mohammed Ali al-Hassani, 35, 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.

It's now been reported that Al-Hassani was a UK citizen until his status was revoked last month.

It is claimed that Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood wrote to the suspect to say the decision had been taken because of national security concerns.

Al-Hassani left the UK weeks after the US went to war with Iran in February, it is understood.

He and Iranian Mohsen Mohajeri, 48, are accused of using 'a network of contacts in the United Kingdom' to orchestrate the Fairford plot.

Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi, 32, who was already in prison in the US, is accused of smuggling out coded messages to the pair from jail during phone calls to his family members.
