Nigeria accuses two people in helping Iran to attack Israeli targets

Nigeria charged two citizens on Wednesday with assisting an Iranian militant cell in planning possible attacks on Israeli targets, Reuters reported.

One citizen was accused of traveling to Tehran and Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to receive cash and of knowing about spying on Israeli interests.

The two, Abdullahi Mustapha Berende and Saheed Oluremi Adewumi, were arrested in February and are accused of being members of a "high-profile terrorist network."

Iran did not respond to the accusations.

Mr. Berende is accused of traveling to Iran to help with "material assistance and terrorist training" and of knowing about spying on two Israeli targets in Lagos but failing to alert the police.

The charges also say he took $30,000 to carry out operations.
