Iran attempts assassination of dissident in NYC | ||
2022-08-02 | ||
[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.
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.
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. The 45-year-old journalist left Iran ...The nation is noted for spontaneouslytaking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militiasto extend the regime's influence... in 2009, studied in Britannia and worked for the US government-backed Voice of America’s Persian-language service. Since 2014, Alinejad also has maintained a Facebook campaign, "My Stealthy Freedom," to support Iranian women who don’t want to wear the hijab covering — required for women in the country. | ||

#4 If it wasn’t for the high capacity magazine and the obliterated serial number he would have been fine. |

#1 In a city awash in random violence, it is good to see that old fashioned directed violence still has a place. |
