Abstract:
The US Department of Justice (DOJ) charged a Pakistani man, Asif Raza Merchant, 46, with conspiracy to assassinate US officials in retaliation for the 2020 assassination of Qassam Soleimani. No names of the intended targets have been released, but the FBI speculates that former US President Donald Trump (the author of Soleimani’s assassination) was among them.
