“Federal prosecutors charge Iranian Revolutionary Guards official in assassination plot on US soil,” CNN, 10-22-24.  IRGC Brigadier General Ruhollah Bazghandi is at large; the three East European crime members are arrested.  The plot was to kill journalist Masih Alinejad in NYC.  “Alinejad posted on X Tuesday that “the revelation that the assassination plot against me in July 2022 was orchestrated by Ali Khamenei’s IRGC is a stark reminder of the brutal lengths to which the Islamic regime will go to silence dissidents, even those far beyond Iran’s borders.” She vowed to “continue advocating … for the rights of the Iranian people to secure democracy and free themselves from dictatorship, no matter the risks.”  “Despite moving 21 times between safe houses, I have a message for @khamenei_ir,” Alinejad wrote, tagging Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in the post.  “Know this – the day of reckoning is coming, and no matter how far you run, justice will find you.  Your regime will face accountability for the suffering it has inflicted.  You may have driven me from my home, but now it is your turn to face the consequences of your crimes.  Go to hell,” Alinejad wrote.”
