Ivanka Trump 'targeted in assassination plot' as 'revenge'
Earlier this month, Mohammed Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi was arrested in Turkey and charged with 18 attacks and attempted attacks throughout Europe and the US according to the Department of Justice (DoJ).
The 32-year-old Iraqi national is described as an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) trained terrorist, said to be high-ranking in Iraq-Iran terror circles.
And it has now been reported that he allegedly planned to kill Ivanka Trump as ‘revenge’ for the death of his mentor, Qasim Soleimani.
It’s said the US President’s daughter was ‘targeted in an assassination plot’ with Al-Saadi said to have had a blueprint of her Florida family home.

It’s not clear if the alleged attacks he was charged with by the US relate to this alleged plot to kill Ivanka.
The New York Post report that the terrorist was allegedly targeting Donald Trump’s family in response to the killing of Iranian military chief Saoleimani in a US drone strike in Baghdad six years ago.
The US president had described him as an ‘evil genius’ as he said at the time: “We caught him in the act and terminated him.”
It is reported that after this, Al-Saadi became ‘fixated’ on revenge.
“After Qasem was killed, he [Al-Saadi] went around telling people ‘we need to kill Ivanka to burn down the house of Trump the way he burned down our house,'” Entifadh Qanbar, a former deputy military attaché in the Iraqi embassy in Washington claimed to The Post.
The source added: “We heard that he had a plan of Ivanka’s house in Florida.” A second source is said to have confirmed this plot to the outlet.
Al-Saadi reportedly posted a map on X which showed the location of Ivanka’s home on the exclusive Indian Creek Island near Miami Beach, where she and husband Jared Kushner live with their three children.
Written in Arabic, the post is said to have translated to: “I say to the Americans look at this picture and know that neither your palaces nor the Secret Service will protect you. We are currently in the stage of surveillance and analysis. I told you, our revenge is a matter of time.”
Most of Al-Saadi’s alleged targets were jews, having been accused of being involved in the stabbing of two Jewish people in London in April, as well as a shooting at the US consulate in Toronto.
In 2004, Ivanka converted to Judaism ahead of marrying Kushner, who is Jewish.
Al-Saadi is reportedly being held in solitary confinement at the Brooklyn Detention Centre.
His lawyers did not respond to comment when contacted by the New York Post.
The LADbible Group has contacted the White House and the Department of Justice for comment.
