How did he plot to kill Ivanka?
Entifadh Qanbar, a former deputy military attaché in the Iraqi embassy in Washington, told the news 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.’”
The IRGC terrorist, who is now captured, posted a picture of a map showing Ivanka’s home in Florida. The picture was accompanied by a chilling caption that read, “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.”
Who is Al-Saadi?
Al-Saadi, described as a senior figure in Iraq-Iran militant networks, was arrested in Turkey on May 15 and extradited to the United States, where he faces charges linked to 18 attacks and attempted attacks across Europe and the US, according to the Department of Justice.
The DoJ alleges he orchestrated several attacks targeting US and Jewish sites, including the firebombing of the Bank of New York Mellon in Amsterdam in March, the stabbing of two Jewish individuals in London in April, and a shooting at the US consulate building in Toronto, also in March.
The report further said that Al-Saadi was close to Soleimani and viewed him as a father figure after his own dad died.
