Last year, agents of the Islamic Republic of Iran tried to abduct her.
“Man arrested with AK-47 outside of dissident Iranian journalist’s Brooklyn home,” by Joe Marino and Patrick Reilly, New York Post, July 31, 2022 (thanks to Kevin):
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 says.
NYPD officers stopped Mehdiyev on Thursday after he rolled through a stop sign. Cops found he was driving without a license and he was placed under arrest.
Police later searched his vehicle and found the loaded AK-47 with multiple magazines, additional rounds of ammunition and a suitcase full of cash. Two other different license plates were also found.
Mehdiyev told police he had been staying in Yonkers, but the rent was too high there and he was looking for a new place to live in the Brooklyn neighborhood. He said he had tried to open the front door of the residence so he could knock on an inside door to ask if he could rent a room.
He initially told officers he had borrowed the car and he didn’t know anything about the gun and said the suitcase was not his.
Later, he confessed that the gun was his and he had been in Brooklyn “because he was looking for someone,” according to the complaint….

Sharia law is clear that any Muslim who is ‘at war’ (harbi) with Islam is a KAFIR who deserves to be executed.
Sharia Law: The killer of an apostate is not punished:
– Reliance of the Traveller (manual of Sharia law), ref. O8.4 : “There is no indemnity for killing an apostate (O: or any expiation, since it is killing someone who deserves to die).”
– Reliance of the Traveller: O1.2 – “The following are not subject to retaliation: -3- a Jewish or Christian subject of the Islamic state for killing an apostate from Islam (O: because a subject of the state is under its protection, while killing an apostate from Islam is without consequences)”
– According to Baidhawi’s commentary, Sura 4: 88-89 means: “Whosoever turns back from his belief, openly or secretly, take him and kill him wheresoever ye find him, like any other infidel. Separate yourself from him altogether. Do not accept intercession in his regard.”

It’s good the LE were on the ball, or she could be dead now.
No wondering from where the cash came, the money for the gun, and the food he consumed, not to mention the gasoline to drive around.
iran has lots of dough now, thanks to the generosity of the American taxpayer, via ‘bobiden.’

Sounds like an Iranian agent/assassin. I hope we still have the technique and will to squeeze every bit of information out of this one, and trace back to his associates.

It should be very obvious that this was a botched political assassination attempt of female Iranian dissident journalist Masih Alinejad by a clumsy jihad government operative sent by Iran
.
The term political assassination is an appropriate phrase to use in this case
As Ayatollah Khomeini had declered “All of Islam is politics”
Regarding the word “assassination” that fits as well as, since those in power in that Islamic regime of Iran would view this dissident as a “traitor ” and that regine is based on the Qu ‘ ran and Sharia.
For Khomeini had also said “Islam grew with blood…”The great prophet of Islam on one hand carried a Koran and in the other a sword; the sword for crushing traitors and the Koran for guidance.”

New Yorks strict anti gun laws seem to be working as planned.
An AK-47 and a shit load of ammo in the hands of a criminal, I can only imagine the deafening silence from the left if this turds mission had been successful.

Brooklyn: Muslim arrested with AK-47 outside home of dissident Iranian journalist
……………………..
Terrifying. So glad he was arrested. Kudos to law enforcement.

He probably just wanted to know how she was doing living in the Big Apple and did she care to go out for Coffee and that is why he was carrying an AK as Brooklyn can be a dangerous place…
Just ask AOC,Old Joe, or any of the other morons currently in political positions today, like Eric Adams as this guy is a poster boy for their mental health issues, even though he planned this out rather badly.
James Lincoln says
And here I am thinking that AK-47s are illegal in Brooklyn…
