Pakistani National Arrested: A big conspiracy to kill many leaders including former US President Donald Trump has failed. A Pakistani national has been arrested in New York City, who had come to America to kill leaders. This person has relations with the government of Iran, which considers the US as its enemy. According to court documents, the Justice Department has accused the arrested person of conspiring to commit political murders and having relations with the Iranian government.
According to CNN report, immediately after the arrest of the Pakistani man, the security of former President Donald Trump and other officials has been increased. However, Trump’s name is not clearly mentioned in the criminal complaint. But many sources have confirmed that Trump was also the target of the Pakistani man. The former President was recently attacked, when bullets were fired at him during a rally. Fortunately, the bullet passed by touching his ear instead of hitting him.

According to court documents, a federal complaint opened in Brooklyn shows that the name of the arrested person is Asif Merchant. 46-year-old Asif is also known as Asif Raza Merchant. In the complaint, Asif has been accused of murdering leaders or US officials on US soil for money in connection with a failed conspiracy.
According to the press release issued by the FBI, Asif was caught before he could carry out any major conspiracy in America. The Pakistani man is currently in federal custody in New York.
The people whom Asif was paying for the murder turned out to be FBI agents
The people whom Asif Raza had hired to commit the murder were FBI agents. Christy Curtis, Acting Assistant Director of the FBI New York Field Office, said, “Fortunately, the assassins whom Asif Merchant allegedly tried to hire were undercover FBI agents. This case highlights the dedication and efforts of our agents, analysts and prosecutors in New York, Houston and Dallas.”
US Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, Brion Peace, said, “Working on behalf of others abroad, Merchant planned to assassinate US government officials on US soil. This prosecution shows that this office and the US Department of Justice will take swift and decisive action to protect our country’s security, our government officials and our citizens from foreign threats.”
