An Iraqi national with suspected ties to terror groups and the Iranian military has been arrested and hauled to New York to face charges of carrying out 20 terror attacks against US and Israeli interests in Europe and Canada — and plotting the bombing of a New York synagogue. Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi, an alleged “commander” in terrorist organization linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, orchestrated the attacks — including the firebombing of the Bank of New York Mellon building in Amsterdam and stabbing of two Jewish victims in London — as retaliation for the US and Israel’s ongoing war in Iran, a newly unsealed criminal complaint alleges. Al-Saadi was also behind a March 9, 2026, bombing of a synagogue in Liège, Belgium, a March 13, 2026, arson of a temple in Rotterdam, and paid an undercover law enforcement officer $3,000 to bomb a “prominent” Big Apple temple in April, court papers allege.
