Law enforcement officers foiled a plot to assassinate New York-based Palestinian American activist Nerdeen Kiswani and arrested a 26-year old man in connection with the plan.
Kiswani wrote in post on X that late on Thursday, the FBI joint terrorism taskforce informed her that a plot against her life was “about to” take place, and that agents had conducted an operation in Hoboken, New Jersey, in connection to it.
According to a criminal complaint unsealed on Friday and a Department of Justice press release, Alexander Heifler, 26, was arrested on Thursday night on charges of unlawfully possessing and making firearms.
The complaint describes a weeks-long sting by an undercover officer who, at one point, infiltrated a group video call in which Heifler asked for assistance with “molotovs”. Heifler later met with the undercover officer on multiple occasions, at one point telling him that he had an address for the “victim”, which the complaint does not name. The officer was at Heifler’s residence when he assembled about eight molotov cocktails on Thursday.
