Iranian American journalist reacts to Iran plot to kidnap her

Despite an alleged plot to lure and kidnap her, the arrest of her brother in Iran and ongoing death threats, Iranian American activist and journalist Masih Alinejad refuses to be silenced. Eight months ago, the FBI arrived at Alinejad's Brooklyn, New York, home to alert her that she was under surveillance by Iranian intelligence. They had obtained photos of her husband, children and even her as she watered flowers in her garden, Alinejad said. “It was shocking because I left my beloved homeland to be safe here, and I was like, 'Wow, so now the officials are that close to me,'” she told ABC News Live Prime, adding that authorities moved her to several different safe houses.
