NEW YORK: A US-based Palestinian-American activist said Friday that the FBI had disrupted an imminent plot to assassinate her, as authorities charged a 26-year-old man with possessing Molotov cocktails he meant to use against her home. Nerdeen Kiswani leads Within Our Lifetime, a Palestinian advocacy group active in New York City, and has been a key figure in organizing protests particularly focused on the Gaza war. “Late last night the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force informed me that a plot against my life was ‘about to’ take place,” Kiswani wrote on X.

Federal officials arrested a man accused of plotting to firebomb the Brooklyn, N.Y., home of Palestinian activist Nerdeen Kiswani.

Agents found eight Molotov cocktails in the man's Hoboken home, according to court documents.
