Nigerian security forces uncovered an Iranian terror cell that was allegedly planning to launch attacks against Israeli and American targets in the city of Lagos.

The cell, which consisted of three people, was led by Abdullahi Berende, a 50-year-old Shiite Muslim Nigerian citizen, who was trained in Iran and underwent training in assembling explosive devices.

The investigation by Nigerian security forces revealed that Berende traveled to Iran for the first time in 2006 to study in the university. He returned to Iran in 2011 and underwent training there. Berende received $30 thousand from his Iranian dispatchers in order to carry out the attacks.
