A man accused of being a lead Iraqi terrorist with ties to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps reportedly plotted to assassinate Ivanka Trump as “revenge” for her father taking out the terrorist’s “mentor” in 2020.
The Iraqi terrorist, Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, horrifyingly, was in possession of a blueprint of Ivanka’s Florida home, according to the New York Post.
The Iraqi national was allegedly targeting members of President Donald Trump’s family in retaliation for the 2020 killing of Iranian military commander Qasem Soleimani in a U.S. drone strike in Baghdad, sources told the outlet.
“After Qasem was killed, he [Al-Saadi] went around telling people ‘we need to kill Ivanka to burn down the house of Trump the way he burned down our house,’” noted Entifadh Qanbar, an official in the Iraqi Ministry of Defense and Deputy Military Attaché for the Embassy of Iraq in Washington, D.C.
“We heard that he had a plan of Ivanka’s house in Florida,” Qanbar added.
Al-Saadi also posted on X a map highlighting the Florida enclave where Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner’s home is located. The post was accompanied by a chilling Arabic message that translates to, “I say to the Americans, look at this picture and know that neither your palaces nor the Secret Service will protect you. We are currently in the stage of surveillance and analysis. I told you, our revenge is a matter of time.”
Al-Saadi is known to be a senior figure within Iraq–Iran-linked terrorist networks and specifically the Kata’ib Hizballah, militia. He was arrested in Turkey on May 15th and extradited to the United States, where he faces charges in connection with 18 alleged attacks and attempted attacks across Europe and the U.S., according to the Department of Justice (DOJ).
He is accused of involvement in operations targeting U.S. and Jewish sites, including the firebombing of the Bank of New York Mellon in Amsterdam in March, the stabbing of two Jewish victims in London in April and a shooting at the U.S. consulate building in Toronto that same month, the DOJ said.
