Pakistani National With Alleged Iranian Ties Charged In Plot To Assassinate US Officials
New York Field Office.
“This case underscores the dedication and formidable efforts of our agents, analysts and prosecutors in New York, Houston and Dallas. Their success in neutralizing this threat not only prevented a tragic outcome but also reaffirms the FBI’s commitment to protecting our nation and its citizens from both domestic and international threats.”
The complaint also highlighted Merchant’s intent to recruit trusted individuals for various roles in his scheme, including reconnaissance and organizing a protest, with further instructions to be conveyed in coded language.
The DOJ emphasized at the time of filing in mid-July that premature disclosure of the complaint’s contents could have jeopardized the investigation, with risks including fleeing suspects and tampering with evidence before it was ultimately unsealed this week.
[ZH: We have one question:]Amazing how the FBI was able to catch this fake Pakistani assassin they ran as an entrapment op right when they are having trouble answering questions about Thomas Matthew Crooks and J13
Guess we should just let that one go, ya think!

Of course this is not the first Iranian-linked assassin on the loose in America.
