What the Al-Saadi arrest reveals about the threat of global decentralized terrorism
LONDON: Ivanka Trump, the daughter of US President Donald Trump, was allegedly singled out in a revenge plot linked to the 2020 US drone strike that killed Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani — a detail now casting fresh light on what US prosecutors describe as a sprawling Iran-linked terror network spanning Europe and North America.
According to reporting cited by the New York Post, Iraqi national Mohammad Baqer Al-Saadi — recently arrested in Turkiye and extradited to the US — allegedly discussed targeting Ivanka because of her father’s role in Soleimani’s killing.
Investigators reportedly said Al-Saadi possessed a blueprint of her Florida residence and had posted threats online, including a map of the area around the home she shares with Jared Kushner.
