US law enforcement say man was arrested for plotting Molotov cocktail attack against outspoken activist Nerdeen Kiswani.
United States law enforcement agencies have announced that they foiled a plot against prominent Palestinian activist Nerdeen Kiswani in New York City, detaining a suspect for allegedly planning to throw Molotov cocktails at her home.
Kiswani, the 31-year-old cofounder of the activist group Within Our Lifetime, said that she had been informed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) late on Thursday of a threat against her life. The arrest was the result of an undercover law enforcement operation.
“Late last night, the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force informed me that a plot against my life that was ‘about to’ take place, and that agents had conducted an operation in Hoboken related to this plot,” Kiswani said in a social media post.
“I will have more to say as additional details come to light,” she added. “I will not stop speaking up for the people of Palestine.”
A federal complaint has identified the suspect as a New Jersey man named Andrew Heifler, 26.
