"Anyone who plans a terrorist plot on a military base housing American servicemembers will be prosecuted by the United States government," said Attorney General Todd Blanche. "The defendants listed in the indictment allegedly supported two foreign terrorist organizations, and al-Saadi allegedly coordinated with his co-defendants in the days leading up to the attempted terrorist plot. This Department of Justice will continue dismantling terrorist networks and protecting the American people from terrorist organizations."
"This eight-count indictment shows the determination of Iran to commit terrorist attacks in Europe and the U.S., including one plot that was recently prevented at RAF Fairfield, a British Royal Air Force Base where American forces were stationed," said FBI Director Kash Patel. "According to the indictment, one of the subjects is behind bars awaiting trial yet he allegedly sent coded messages to assist in future acts of violence. To date, the subjects have been allegedly involved in nearly 20 attempted attacks throughout Europe and the United States in support of Kata'ib Hizballah and Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps ("IRGC"), two U.S. designated foreign terrorist organizations. This FBI will use all our resources to detect and stop such terrorist attacks as we've done the last 21 months - with over 1,300 terrorists disrupted and nearly 7,000 Foreign Terrorist Organization related arrests, up 1,057%. All those who threaten our homeland will get the message - justice will find you."
"Today marks a major disruption of an alleged global terrorism conspiracy," said Acting Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General for National Security M. Scott Proctor. "No matter where they are in the world, the National Security Division of the Department of Justice will pursue those who target American citizens and American interests. My thanks go out to the prosecutors and law enforcement partners for their work on this case."
"As alleged, these defendants helped orchestrate a campaign of terror on behalf of terrorist organizations affiliated with Iran that targeted Jewish communities in Europe and the United States, and the British military base, RAF Fairford, housing American service members," said U.S. Attorney Jamie McDonald for the Southern District of New York. "Even after one of their co-conspirators was arrested and placed in federal custody, the defendants allegedly continued coordinating terrorist activity through coded communications and a network of associates overseas. The threat presented by Iran and Iran-backed terrorist groups to America and our allies is not hypothetical -- it is very real. Our Office will not stop working to address and disrupt this threat, and to prosecute those responsible."
According to the allegations contained in the superseding indictment and other court filings: Al-Saadi, Mohsen Mohajeri, and al-Hassani allegedly conspired to commit terrorist attacks in Europe and the United States on behalf of an Iran-aligned terrorist network, which included the IRGC and Kata'ib Hizballah, both of which are FTOs. Most recently, in approximately September 2026, al-Hassani allegedly orchestrated a terrorist plot at a British Royal Air Force Base (RAF Fairford) in Fairford, United Kingdom (the "RAF Fairford Terrorist Plot"), which at the time of the attempted attack, housed U.S. military aircraft and personnel.
Al-Hassani and Mohajeri, both of whom were in Iran at the time of the RAF Fairford Terrorist Plot, allegedly relied on a network of contacts in the United Kingdom. Al-Saadi, who was imprisoned and awaiting trial on pending terrorism charges in the Southern District of New York, attempted to coordinate with al-Hassani and Mohajeri from jail by passing coded messages through third parties.
Al-Saadi, a longtime operative of the IRGC and Kata'ib Hizballah, was charged in May for working with and on behalf of the IRGC and Kata'ib Hizballah, as well as other FTOs, for his involvement in planning and promoting approximately 18 terrorist attacks in Europe; and for attempting to bomb a synagogue in New York. The picture below shows al-Saadi in front of an array of machineguns in a conference room with a map of the United States on the wall next to a list of "legitimate targets" (redacted here) identifying former and current U.S. officials.
As alleged, among the individuals with whom al-Saadi worked to facilitate and carry out the European Terrorist Attacks were Mohajeri and al-Hassani. Mohajeri is an Iranian national and operative of the IRGC who coordinated with al-Saadi and al-Hassani to carry out those terrorist attacks with the IRGC's backing. Al-Hassani, who is originally from Iraq, used his contacts and criminal associates to carry out terrorist attacks in the United Kingdom.
The European Terrorist Attacks were carried out in the name of a purportedly new terrorist group with the pseudonym Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya (HAYI), which is a front for Kata'ib Hizballah and other FTOs. Of the 18 terrorist attacks in the spring of 2026 for which HAYI claimed responsibility in Europe, seven took place in the United Kingdom, the most of any European country. The attacks involved arsons, explosives, and in one instance, a near-fatal stabbing in London of two Jewish men, including a dual U.S.-British citizen.
Al-Saadi, Mohajeri, and Al-Hassani were allegedly personally involved in planning many of the European Terrorist Attacks, and al-Saadi and Mohajeri helped create and publish online propaganda videos of these attacks. For example, on or about April 6, Mohajeri and al-Hassani planned attacks while together in a room in Iraq with a map of London displayed on a computer screen. In a video of that meeting, al-Hassani told Mohajeri, "we need to get focused on London." An image of the video is below, with Mohajeri on the right and al-Hassani on the left. HAYI then claimed responsibility for six terrorist attacks that occurred in and around London starting approximately one week later.
On or about April 17, al-Saadi, al-Hassani, and Mohajeri allegedly directed an individual to carry out one of the European Terrorist Attacks in real time. Specifically, al-Saadi, al-Hassani, and Mohajeri, along with others, were in a room watching a FaceTime video with the individual who was carrying out the attack, which was projected onto a large screen against the background of the HAYI logo. Al-Hassani directed the perpetrators' actions, including by instructing the individual on the other end of the call to execute the attack and directing that individual to take a lighter and "light one in your hand," "light it," and "throw the fourth one." Al-Saadi recorded the attack in real time, while Mohajeri recorded al-Hassani and al-Saadi in the room as they directed the attack. A still image from Mohajeri's recording, showing al-Saadi (circled in red) and al-Hassani (circled in green), as they directed and filmed the attack, is below.
The next day, on or about April 18, al-Hassani participated in another video call with an individual carrying out an attack on a synagogue in London, with the HAYI logo projected on the background of al-Hassani's screen. During the video call, al-Hassani directed the individual to "light it up like a Christmas tree." The person on the video then lit an improvised explosive device and threw it at a building. An image from the video is shown below.
In March and April -- overlapping with the time that al-Saadi was co-located in Iraq with Mohajeri and al-Hassani, planning the European Terrorist Attacks -- al-Saadi allegedly attempted to coordinate and carry out terrorist attacks in the United States, including by targeting a synagogue in Manhattan.
On or about May 1, following the European Terrorist Attacks, al-Saadi was arrested abroad and subsequently transferred to the custody of the United States to face prosecution. Al-Saadi has been in federal custody since his arrival in the United States. For approximately four months following al-Saadi's arrest, there were no additional attacks attributable to al-Saadi, Mohajeri, and al-Hassani.
In August, however, al-Hassani allegedly directed and paid associates in the United Kingdom to conduct preparatory steps and arrange logistics for the RAF Fairford Terrorist Plot. On Aug. 22, al-Hassani paid one individual (Individual-1) to perform pre-operational surveillance of RAF Fairford's perimeter and al-Hassani subsequently received videos of the area surrounding the base. In later communications with al-Hassani, Individual-1 referred to him as "Ali."
In September, al-Hassani also tasked and paid several individuals to help him prepare for the plot, including by procuring vans and barrels of fuel, researching the purchase of chemical accelerants, including large quantities of potassium chloride, and purchasing metallic objects that could be used as explosive shrapnel. At al-Hassani's urging, those individuals commissioned custom decals that they affixed to the vans to create the appearance that they were used by a fuel delivery business and a swimming pool supply business.
On Sept. 26, al-Hassani allegedly tasked individuals to drive three vans, some of which were later determined to contain barrels of fuel, to the RAF Fairford base. That day, al-Hassani was in frequent communication with the van drivers, helping to coordinate their movements and directing them where to drive. At least two of the three vans, while en route to the perimeter of RAF Fairford, encountered a security roadblock and were not allowed to proceed on their intended route. Al-Hassani communicated with the drivers and occupants of the vans both before and after encountering the security checkpoint. In the early morning hours of Sept. 27, law enforcement authorities in the United Kingdom recovered three white vans to which the fuel delivery business logos were affixed and arrested the occupants.
While in prison in New York awaiting trial, al-Saadi has had phone calls with his immediate family members located in Iraq. As alleged, al-Saadi used those calls to pass coded messages to Mohajeri and al-Hassani in the days leading up to the RAF Fairford Terrorist Plot.
For example, in June and July, al-Saadi allegedly spoke with his mother and sister about Mohajeri. During those calls, they referred to Mohajeri by various aliases, including "Abbas, Abu Daniel" and "Sayyid Abbas." Al-Saadi also told his family members that he owed money to Mohajeri and directed them to pass along messages to Mohajeri about "work," a term al-Saadi regularly used to describe terrorist activity, including on social media posts and in discussions with Mohajeri about partnering to conduct terrorist attacks. On one of those calls, al-Saadi also asked his sister, "What are they doing about all our old work?" and asked her whether it had been cancelled or just put on pause. Al-Saadi's sister responded that "it isn't cancelled."
On or about Sept. 24, al-Saadi once again spoke with his immediate family by phone. On the call, al-Saadi allegedly inquired about how al-Hassani, whom al-Saadi referred to as "Ali," was doing. Al-Saadi's family informed al-Saadi that "Ali" had been transferred to the "International Section." Al-Saadi then allegedly instructed his family to "give him [al-Hassani] money so we can do it." As described above, three days later, al-Hassani orchestrated the RAF Fairford Terrorist Plot.
Al-Saadi, 32, is a citizen of Iraq and Iran. Mohajeri, 48, is a citizen of Iran. Al-Hassani, 35, is a citizen of Iraq. A chart containing the names, charges, and minimum and maximum penalties for the defendants is set forth below.
The Justice Department praised the outstanding investigative work of the FBI's New York Joint Terrorism Task Force, which consists of investigators and analysts from the FBI, the NYPD, and over 50 other federal, state, and local agencies, and the FBI Washington Field Office, Counterterrorism Division, as well as the assistance of the Department of Justice's National Security Division, Counterterrorism Section, the Justice Department's Office of International Affairs, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the NYPD, the New York State Police, and the Department of State.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Jeffrey W. Coyle, Sarah L. Kushner, David J. Robles, and Chelsea L. Scism for the Southern District of New York are prosecuting the case, with assistance from James Donnelly and Paul Casey of the National Security Division's Counterterrorism Section.

Alexander Scott Mercurio, 21, of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, was sentenced today to 18 years in prison and lifetime supervised release by U.S. District Judge David C. Nye of the District of Idaho for attempting to provide material support and resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization.

Show Full Article WASHINGTON, Nov. 12 -- The U.S. Department of Justice issued the following news release: * * * Idaho Man Sentenced to 18 Years in Prison for Attempting to Provide Material Support to ISIS in Plot to Attack Churches November 10, 2026 Alexander Scott Mercurio, 21, of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, was sentenced today to 18 years in prison and lifetime supervised release by U.S. District Judge David C. Nye of the District of Idaho for attempting to provide material support and resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization. According to court records, Mercurio planned to incapacitate his fatherwith a metal pipe and take his firearms to use in a mass casualty attack on Idaho churches in the name of ISIS. Mercurio also planned to use flame-covered weapons, explosives, knives, and a machete in the attacks. A search of his house revealed that he had butane canisters, lighters, a pair of handcuffs, a knife, and a machete, as well as several firearms belonging to his father. Days before the planned attack, Mercurio stood before an ISIS flag holding a knife and pledged his allegiance to ISIS. The FBI arrested him on April 6, 2024, one day before his planned attack. In addition to his plot to attack Idaho churches, in early 2023, he created an online repository for pro-ISIS content with the purpose of spreading the doctrine of the Islamic State.
"America's founders wanted our Nation to be a place where the faithful of any denomination could exercise their religious beliefs freely and without fear of violence," said Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General for National Security M. Scott Proctor. "Alexander Scott Mercurio planned to attack that fundamental freedom by bringing death and destruction to several churches. This sentence shows that the Department of Justice will relentlessly investigate, pursue, and prosecute those who would terrorize and murder Americans for exercising their religious rights."
"The sentencing of Mercurio today sends the clear message that where individuals intend to pursue acts of terrorism against the United States - whether in Coeur d'Alene, or any other community - they will be brought to justice," said U.S. Attorney John C. Shirts for the District of Idaho. "Protecting our communities from terrorist activity is always the number one priority of this office and the Department of Justice. I commend the investigation by the FBI, as well as the valuable assistance provided by the Coeur d'Alene Police Department, the Kootenai County Sheriff's Office and the Ada County Sheriff's Office."
"With today's sentencing, this individual is being held accountable for pledging allegiance to ISIS and planning an attack on U.S. soil," said Assistant Director Jarod Brown of the FBI's Counterterrorism Division. "The FBI works tirelessly to detect and prevent acts of terrorism in order to protect the American people. We will continue to work closely with our law enforcement and Justice Department partners to make sure anyone who participates in terrorist acts faces justice."
The case was investigated by the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force with assistance from the Coeur d'Alene Police Department, the Kootenai County Sheriff's Office and the Ada County Sheriff's Office.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Heather S. Patricco and David G. Robins for the District of Idaho and Trial Attorney Matthew R. Hracho of the National Security Division's Counterterrorism Section.

"America's founders wanted our Nation to be a place where the faithful of any denomination could exercise their religious beliefs freely and without fear of violence," said Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General for National Security M. Scott Proctor. "Alexander Scott Mercurio planned to attack that fundamental freedom by bringing death and destruction to several churches. This sentence shows that the Department of Justice will relentlessly investigate, pursue, and prosecute those who would terrorize and murder Americans for exercising their religious rights."
"The sentencing of Mercurio today sends the clear message that where individuals intend to pursue acts of terrorism against the United States - whether in Coeur d'Alene, or any other community - they will be brought to justice," said U.S. Attorney John C. Shirts for the District of Idaho. "Protecting our communities from terrorist activity is always the number one priority of this office and the Department of Justice. I commend the investigation by the FBI, as well as the valuable assistance provided by the Coeur d'Alene Police Department, the Kootenai County Sheriff's Office and the Ada County Sheriff's Office."
"With today's sentencing, this individual is being held accountable for pledging allegiance to ISIS and planning an attack on U.S. soil," said Assistant Director Jarod Brown of the FBI's Counterterrorism Division. "The FBI works tirelessly to detect and prevent acts of terrorism in order to protect the American people. We will continue to work closely with our law enforcement and Justice Department partners to make sure anyone who participates in terrorist acts faces justice."
The case was investigated by the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force with assistance from the Coeur d'Alene Police Department, the Kootenai County Sheriff's Office and the Ada County Sheriff's Office.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Heather S. Patricco and David G. Robins for the District of Idaho and Trial Attorney Matthew R. Hracho of the National Security Division's Counterterrorism Section.

BLS did not collect survey data for October 2025 because of a lapse in appropriations. For most CPI series, BLS could not publish October 2025 indexes.

Technical Note
The Consumer Price Index (https://www.bls.gov/cpi) (CPI) is a measure of the average change in prices over time in a fixed market basket of goods and services. The Consumer Price Index for Los Angeles is published monthly. The set of components and sub-aggregates published for regional and metropolitan indexes is more limited than at the U.S. city average level; these indexes are byproducts of the national CPI program. Each local index has a much smaller sample size than the national or regional indexes and is, therefore, subject to substantially more sampling and other measurement error. As a result, local-area indexes are more volatile than the national or regional indexes. In addition, local indexes are not adjusted for seasonal influences. NOTE: Area indexes do not measure differences in the level of prices between cities; they only measure the average change in prices for each area since the base period.

October 2026 12-Month Percent Changes
BLS did not collect survey data for October 2025 because of a lapse in appropriations. For most CPI series, BLS could not publish October 2025 indexes. As a result, BLS cannot publish 12-month percent changes for October 2026 for indexes where October 2025 data are unavailable. Information about handling missing data is available online in the Approximating missing data points (https://www.bls.gov/cpi/factsheets/approximating-missing-data.htm) factsheet.

Technical Note
The Consumer Price Index (https://www.bls.gov/cpi) (CPI) is a measure of the average change in prices over time in a fixed market basket of goods and services. The Consumer Price Index for St. Louis is published bi-monthly. The set of components and sub-aggregates published for regional and metropolitan indexes is more limited than at the U.S. city average level; these indexes are byproducts of the national CPI program. Each local index has a much smaller sample size than the national or regional indexes and is, therefore, subject to substantially more sampling and other measurement error. As a result, local-area indexes are more volatile than the national or regional indexes. In addition, local indexes are not adjusted for seasonal influences. NOTE: Area indexes do not measure differences in the level of prices between cities; they only measure the average change in prices for each area since the base period.

Technical Note
The earnings series presented in this release are derived from the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Current Employment Statistics (CES) survey, a monthly establishment survey of employment, payroll, and hours. The deflators used for constant-dollar earnings series presented in this release come from the Consumer Price Indexes Program. The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) is used to deflate earnings for the all employees series, while the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) is used to deflate earnings for the production and nonsupervisory employees series.
Seasonally adjusted data are used for estimates of percent change from the same month a year ago for current and constant average hourly-and weekly earnings. Special techniques are applied to the CES hours and earnings data in the seasonal adjustment process to mitigate the effect of certain calendar-related fluctuations. Thus, over- the-year changes of these hours and earnings are best measured using seasonally adjusted series. A discussion of the calendar-related fluctuations in the hours and earnings data and the special techniques to remove them is available at https://www.bls.gov/ opub/hom/ces/calculation.htm#seasonal-adjustment.
Earnings series from the monthly establishment survey are estimated arithmetic averages (means) of the hourly and weekly earnings of all jobs in the private nonfarm sector of the economy, as well as of all production and nonsupervisory jobs in the private nonfarm sector of the economy. Average hourly earnings estimates are derived by dividing the estimated industry payroll by the corresponding paid hours. Average weekly hours estimates are similarly derived by dividing estimated aggregate hours by the corresponding number of jobs. Average weekly earnings estimates are derived by multiplying the average hourly earnings and the average weekly hours estimates. This is equivalent to dividing the estimated payroll by the corresponding number of jobs. The weekly and hourly earnings estimates for aggregate industries, such as the total private sector averages printed in this release, are derived by summing the corresponding payroll, hours, and employment estimates of the component industries. As a result, each industry receives a "weight" in the published averages that corresponds to its current level of activity (employment or total hours). This further implies that fluctuations and varying trends in employment in high-wage versus low-wage industries as well as wage rate changes influence the earnings averages.
There are several characteristics of the series presented in this release that limit their suitability for some types of economic analyses. (1) The denominator for the all employee weekly earnings series is the number of private nonfarm jobs. Similarly, the denominator of the production and nonsupervisory employee weekly earnings series is the number of private nonfarm production and nonsupervisory employee jobs. This number includes full-time and part-time jobs as well as the jobs held by multiple jobholders in the private nonfarm sector. These factors tend to result in weekly earnings averages significantly lower than the corresponding numbers for full-time jobs. (2) Annual earnings averages can differ significantly from the result obtained by multiplying average weekly earnings times 52 weeks. The difference may be due to factors such as turnovers and layoffs. (3) The series are the average earnings of all employees or all production and nonsupervisory jobs, not the earnings average of "typical" jobs or jobs held by "typical" workers. Specifically, there are no adjustments for occupational, age, or schooling variations or for household type or location. Many studies have established the significance of these factors and that their impact varies over time.
Seasonally adjusted data are preferred by some users for analyzing general earnings trends in the economy since they eliminate the effect of changes that normally occur at the same time and in about the same magnitude each year and, therefore, reveal the underlying trends and cyclical movements. Changes in average earnings may be due to seasonal changes in the proportion of workers in high-wage and low-wage industries or occupations or to seasonal changes in the amount of overtime work, and so on.
