'Go to hell,' journalist tells Iran after a man with a loaded rifle was arrested near her Brooklyn home
CNN
Iranian journalist and activist Masih Alinejad on Monday told the Iranian regime, "Go to hell," just days after authorities informed her a man armed with an AK-47-style rifle was arrested in the Brooklyn neighborhood where she lives with her family, including her stepchildren.
Authorities are investigating whether the man in custody was there to harm her, a law enforcement official told CNN.
Alinejad was targeted in an alleged kidnapping plot by Iranian nationals last year after she spoke out against the Islamic republic. The plot was organized by an Iranian intelligence official, an indictment alleged, but Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs denied any involvement, calling the accusation "baseless and ridiculous," according to semiofficial Iranian state media.
