 [NYPost] A man armed with a loaded AK-47 was arrested on Thursday outside of the Brooklyn home of Iranian dissident journalist Masih Alinejad, according to sources and charging documents.
Khalid Mehdiyev, 23, was found with the assault rifle, a high-capacity magazine and more than $1,000 worth of cash when he was arrested after lurking for two days, according to a federal complaint.

The complaint makes no explicit connection between Mehdiyev and Alinejad but says the accused had focused on an unnamed Brooklyn "residence."
Law enforcement observed Mehdiyev sitting in a gray Subaru Forester SUV with an Illinois license plate for several hours on Wednesday and Thursday. Feds said he ordered food to his car and looked inside of the windows and attempted to open the front door of the residence he was parked outside of, the complaint rael adds:says.
Mehdiyev is being held by Federal officials; the NYC justice didn't have time to release him apparently.
It looks like this one took all those American teevee cop shows as his model for how a successful assassin behaves.
The Times of Israel adds: |
Khalid Mehdiyev was seen behaving suspiciously outside the home of Iranian dissident Masih Alinejad for two days last week. On Thursday, he parked his Subaru Forester SUV outside her home and was said to peek through the windows of the house and try to open the front door, according to a criminal complaint filed in Federal District Court in Manhattan.
Mehdiyev was pulled over and arrested by New York City police for running a stop sign and driving without a valid license. Law enforcement then found him in possession of a suitcase containing the loaded rifle and $1,100 in $100 bills, the complaint said.
He has since been charged with possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number, and is being held without bail. Mehdiyev’s attorney Stephanie Marie Carvlin did not comment to US media on the matter.
