Remember the Iran-affiliated terrorist bigwig that was arrested in the Middle East and faces charges in the US? This story about the murder of on-duty Canadian cop has a DIRECT connection.
Instead of spending its energy harassing people who belong to the wrong political party in America, Trump’s administration has turned its attention to actual threats, including an Iran-affiliated terrorist believed to be responsible for terror attacks around the world.
An Iraqi national charged in the United States with terrorism offences has been linked by prosecutors to the March shooting outside the U.S. consulate in downtown Toronto back in March.
U.S. prosecutors allege Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi and others were behind the Toronto attack, as well as a second attack targeting a synagogue in Canada, while also coordinating nearly 20 attacks across Europe tied to an Iranian-backed militant network.

According to a newly-unsealed U.S. criminal complaint, prosecutors allege Al-Saadi and others “planned, coordinated, and claimed responsibility” for at least 18 terrorist attacks across Europe, along with “two additional attacks in Canada.” — GlobalNews
Mohammad Baqer al-Saadi alleged to be is a high-ranking commander in Kata’ib Hizballah. Which just happens to be the same group associated with the man against whom police were serving a warrant when things went very wrong.
Canadian police were still tracking down the terrorists who executed the consulate attack itself. The officer serving the warrant himself became the group’s next terror victim. Here is the (late) Constable Marc Pinizzotto with his family.

But he wasn’t killed by the original suspect.
The shooting at the consulate was conducted by a pro-Iran terror group called Kata’ib Hizballah.
Now a police officer has been murdered while trying to investigate their actions.

As we have seen since LONG before the
A warrant for Zara Jabbi, 19, alleges he was involved in the theft of a vehicle on March 10 this year, before shooting at the consulate on University Avenue.

Jabbi is wanted over the shooting at the consulate, but not for the shooting of the Toronto officer on Thursday.
For that, Nicholas Bennett, also 19, has been charged with first-degree murder.
The shooting at the consulate was linked by U.S. prosecutors to an individual they believed was associated with the Iranian regime and allegedly had connections to attacks across the United States, Canada and Europe. — GlobalNews
As for the original attack on the consulate in March, it was foiled because the consulate is built with the safety and security of its occupants in mind.
Two men fired multiple shots at the US consulate in Toronto early on Tuesday in what police described as a “national security incident”, prompting beefed-up protection for US and Israeli diplomatic buildings in the city.
The individuals approached the consulate in downtown Toronto at about 4.30am ET, exited a white SUV and fired several rounds from a handgun at the consulate, Frank Barredo, Toronto’s police deputy chief, told reporters.
There were people inside at the time, but “this building is highly secure, highly fortified, and there were no injuries,” Barredo said. — Guardian
