US Charges Iraqi National Accused of Plotting at Least 18 Terror Attacks in Europe The recent arrest and charging of an Iraqi national, Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al Saadi, for plotting terror attacks in Europe has revealed a complex web of retaliation and coercion that spans the globe.
The alleged plot, which included targeting Jewish centers in Los Angeles and Scottsdale, Arizona, as well as a New York City synagogue, was motivated by Al Saadi's desire to retaliate against the US for its actions in Iran.
According to his lawyer, Al Saadi is being persecuted for his relationship with Qasem Soleimani, the Revolutionary Guard leader killed in 2020.
