On Friday, reports indicated that an Iraqi militia commander, affiliated with the Iranian-backed terrorist group Kataib Hezbollah, was arrested in Turkey. He has since been sent to the U.S. to face charges related to plotting several terrorist attacks, primarily targeting Jewish locations.
The New York Post shared more troubling details about the militant, 32-year-old Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi, and his sinister plot to assassinate the president’s elder daughter, Ivanka Trump:
First Daughter Ivanka Trump was targeted for assassination by an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) trained terrorist in a twisted plot to avenge the president taking out his mentor, The Post has learned.
Recently captured Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, 32, made a “pledge” to kill Ivanka and even had a blueprint of her Florida home, sources claimed.
The Iraqi national was allegedly targeting President Donald Trump’s family in response to the killing of Iranian military chief Qasem Soleimani in a US drone strike in Baghdad six years ago.
“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,’” Entifadh Qanbar, a former deputy military attaché in the Iraqi embassy in Washington told The Post.
He’s apparently one evil SOB:
Few outside of the FBI have heard of Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi, but they say he’s behind a series of attacks – including in the UK
But the complaint against him describes the 32-year-old as a key figure in Iran’s covert overseas terror operations.
Disturbingly, the terrorist was said to possess blueprints of the Florida home where Ivanka Trump, her husband Jared Kushner, and their children reside:

Al-Saadi was quite open about his intentions, as he shared a map of their home on social media and wrote, “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.”
Well, for this guy anyway, hopefully revenge is a matter of “never.” But this entire episode does serve as a reminder of the evil in this world.
And maybe even some insight into why Trump’s hammering Iran so hard.
