Allegations Against Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi
A guy named Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi was recently snagged by authorities. He’s 32, and they’re saying he’s tied up with those Iranian-backed terror networks.
The whole story, according to a report from the New York Post, is wild. He allegedly plotted to kill Ivanka Trump. Not just some random act. It was framed as revenge for the killing of Qasem Soleimani during the recent US-Israeli strikes.
He was captured in Turkey first. Then, naturally, he got extradited over to the United States.
Investigators claim he had a plan. A blueprint, apparently, for Ivanka Trump’s Florida residence. The place where she lived with Jared Kushner.
Entifadh Qanbar, who used to be a deputy military attaché at the Iraqi embassy in D.C., spilled some details. He said Al-Saadi openly talked about wanting revenge.
“After Qasem was killed,” Qanbar told the paper, “he went around telling people ‘we need to kill Ivanka to burn down the house of Trump the way he burned down our house.’”
That’s the kind of talk you hear when things get dark.
Al-Saadi allegedly posted something online. An image of the Florida area. Ivanka and Jared’s massive home was in the shot.
But it wasn't just a picture. There was a message in Arabic. A warning to Americans. Something about the Secret Service and palaces not being enough protection. They were already watching, they claimed.
This guy isn't just some random operative. US authorities peg him as a senior figure. Deep in the Iraq-Iran terror circles. Linked to both Kata’ib Hezbollah and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps .
The Department of Justice has slapped him with charges. Over eighteen attacks. Attempts to attack across Europe and the States.
The list of alleged acts is heavy. They’re talking about the firebombing of the Bank of New York Mellon in Amsterdam. Stabbing two Jewish victims in London. Even a shooting at the US consulate in Toronto.
And don't forget the targeting of Jewish people. Officials alleged he planned attacks on synagogues in Liège, Belgium, and even the arson of a temple in Rotterdam.
It’s a mess. He’s accused of coordinating failed attacks linked to the Middle East conflict in the US.
Qanbar also brought up his background. Al-Saadi had a close tie to Soleimani. He saw him as a kind of father figure after his own father died back in 2006. He grew up in Baghdad with his Iraqi mom before getting sent to Tehran for training with the IRGC.
He apparently ran a travel agency specializing in religious tours. That gave him the means to travel and connect with these terror cells.
When he was finally caught in Turkey on May 15th, he allegedly had an Iraqi service passport. Something usually reserved only for government employees with prime minister approval.
But even while being called a major terror operative, he kept showing up online. He posted pictures. Near big landmarks. Eiffel Tower in Paris. Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur.
Court documents also surfaced. Photos allegedly showing him with Soleimani. Looking at maps, studying gear in what looked like a military spot.
After Soleimani’s death, Al-Saadi made a statement online. He said he’d leave social media until the "American enemy is defeated." But prosecutors said he just kept posting. Praising Soleimani. Praising other Iranian military figures who got killed in US strikes.
They also claimed he used platforms like Snapchat to threaten people. Sending pictures of pistols with silencers. Just straight threats.
Now he’s in solitary confinement at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Just sitting there.
