WASHINGTON D.C.—On May 15, an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) trained terrorist, Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, 32, of Iraq, was captured in Turkey and was extradited to the United States facing charges in 18 terrorist attacks/attempted attacks within Europe and the United States.
After the IRGC terrorist was taken into custody, authorities learned he had a vendetta against the Trump family that dated back to January 3, 2020, when President Donald Trump ordered the drone strike that killed Iranian General Qasem Soleimani.
The terrorist was targeting First Daughter, Ivanka Trump. Al-Saadi had blueprints of the $24 million mansion Ivanka shares with her husband, Jared Kushner, and their small children on Indian Creek Island in Miami, Florida.
He is responsible for shooting at the U.S. Consulate Building in Toronto and the firebombing of the Bank of New York Mellon in Amsterdam last March, and the stabbing of two Jewish New Yorkers in London in April.
Al-Saadi who took responsibility for multiple attacks against Jewish people, bombing a synagogue in Liège, Belgium. He committed arson at a Jewish Temple in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
Reports indicate Qasem Soleimani was a mentor of Al-Saadi. He vowed to kill Ivanka Trump in his native tongue, “He (Trump) burned down our house (re: the death of his mentor), we will burn down his house.”
The U.S. Department of Justice noted on May 15 he has been charged with:
