NYP found out about the preparation of the assassination attempt on Ivanka Trump
Turkish authorities have extradited to the United States an Iraqi man associated with the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, who was preparing an assassination attempt on the daughter of American leader Donald Trump, Ivanka. This was reported by The New York Post on May 23.
"He went around telling people, 'We need to kill Ivanka to burn down Trump's house the same way he burned down our house. We heard that he had a plan to take over Ivanka's house in Florida," Entifad Kanbar, former deputy military attache at the Iraqi Embassy in Washington, told NYP.
It is known that 32-year-old Mohammad Baker Saad Dawud al-Saadi was associated not only with the IRGC, but also with the Shiite movement Kataib Hezbollah. He wanted to kill Ivanka Trump in retaliation for the assassination of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani by American forces in 2020. The man posted on social networks a map of the area of residence of the daughter of the American leader and wrote threats in Arabic, added "Газета.Ru ".
Al-Saadi was detained in Turkey on May 15. In the United States, he is accused of organizing and coordinating attacks on American and Jewish targets in Western countries. According to the US Department of Justice, he was involved in the arson of a bank in the Netherlands, the attack on two Jews in Britain and the shooting at the US consulate in Canada. The Iraqi allegedly personally communicated with General Soleimani and was trained in the ranks of the IRGC. When he was arrested, they found an Iraqi official passport in his possession.
Trump and his wife Melania were evacuated from the White House Correspondents' Association dinner on April 25 after the sounds of gunfire. Later, the American leader announced that the shooter had been detained. The federal prosecutor in Washington, Jeanine Pirro, reported that the detainee after the shooting will appear in court on Monday, April 27.
CNN reported on April 27 that the shooter at the reception with the participation of the US president was charged with the attempted assassination of the American leader, and he faces life in prison. The 31-year-old man appeared before the federal court for the first time on April 27. Investigators are examining a message that the suspect sent to his family after he was arrested: in it, he expressed anger at the administration, ridiculed the Secret Service for weak security at the hotel and said he was not "waiting for a pardon."
