美国周二就一起起诉书指控三名与所谓伊朗关联恐怖组织有关联的人员，其中涉及9月针对英国皇家空军基地的一次计划，该基地曾驻扎美军事人员和飞机。
The U.S. charged three individuals in connection with alleged Iranian-linked terror plots, including a September scheme against a British Royal Air Force Base that housed U.S. military personnel and aircraft, per an indictment unsealed Tuesday. The big picture:
起诉书称，一名伊斯兰恐怖组织的领导人试图通过第三方传递密码信息，与同案被告联络。
The indictment alleges that a leader of an Islamic terrorist group attempted to coordinate with his fellow defendants from jail by passing coded messages through third parties.
自今年年初以来，起诉书中三名被指名男子一直在为伊朗关联恐怖网络实施恐怖袭击而行动。
Driving the news: Since early in the year, the three men named in the indictment worked to commit terror attacks on behalf of an Iran-aligned terrorist network, the indictment alleges.
