A suspected terrorist with ties to Iran’s military has been arrested and hauled to New York to face charges of carrying out and plotting nearly 20 attacks across Europe and Canada – with plans to blow up a Big Apple synagogue – to punish Americans and Jews over the Iran war.
Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi, an accused commander in a terrorist organization linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, allegedly orchestrated the firebombing of the Bank of New York Mellon in Amsterdam, the stabbing of two Jewish victims in London and other foiled counter-attacks in the US in response to the conflict in the Middle East.
“Al-Saadi attempted to disrupt American society through intimidation and violence. In a righteous and just contrast, his prosecution will highlight the best of our country,” Manhattan US Attorney Jay Clayton said in a statement.
Al-Saadi, a 32-year-old accused high-ranking official of the terror group Kata’ib Hizballah, and bloodthirsty accomplices, allegedly “planned, coordinated and taken responsibility for” attacks that also included a March 9 bombing of a synagogue in Liège, Belgium and a March 13 arson of a Rotterdam temple, the feds said.
The Iraqi national was accused of preparing to bomb a “prominent” Manhattan temple on April 6, but the plot was foiled after he unwittingly sent $3,000 to an undercover law enforcement officer he believed was a Mexican cartel member to carry out the disaster.
He allegedly offered to fork over $10,000 in total, and texted the undercover, “I wanna see good news tonight . . . not tomorrow bro” the night the attack was supposed to happen, court docs claimed.

I wonder if NY will consider that he might be a flight risk.
Vile child sex predator on the loose in California after vanishing when judge freed him before sentencing
That’s nonsense on steroids.
People have to get it in their head, these guys are not entitled to a lawyer or presumption of innocence or their “day in court”. They are not common criminals.
Technically speaking, they are Unlawful Enemy Combatants. Enemy Aliens.
They get a court martial, at best. And then hanged.
Yeah, even NY will probably take this guy seriously, but who knows for sure.
Narrator: If they are hauling him into court, they aren’t taking it seriously
Yeah, but will New York convict him of anything serious? I know that many New Yorkers remember 9-11, but I also know that New Yorkers elected a Muslim communist as mayor.
