An Iraqi national living in Columbus, Ohio, was arrested Tuesday and faces federal charges related to an
alleged plot to assassinate former President George W. Bush, the Justice Department announced.

Shihab Ahmed Shihab Shihab has been charged with aiding and abetting the attempted murder of a former
United States Official, as well as with an immigration crime for his alleged attempt to illegally bring foreign
nationals to the United States.

According to the Justice Department, Shihab is alleged to have planned to smuggle four Iraqi nationals as
part of plot. Court documents obtained by CNN describe reconnaissance by Shihab that included driving to
the neighborhood of Bush's residence in Dallas.

"President Bush has all the confidence in the world in the United States Secret Service and our law enforcement
and intelligence communities," Bush's chief of staff Freddy Ford said in a statement.
The investigation was disclosed in a March 23 application filed under seal, seeking a search warrant for phone
records of a person identified in the documents as Shihab Ahmed Shihab, who entered the US in September 2020.
The FBI uncovered the plot through confidential informants, one of whom recorded discussions about the
assassination plot with Shihab in meetings late last year and through the spring, the documents show. There
is no suggestion in the documents that the former President was ever in danger.

He sounds like a real hard case, all right.

Well, the FBI is saying it, so according to the MAGAs here, it's got to be false.

Never heard before of a plot to assassinate an ex-president.

Which is a disappointment. Orange and brain matter would be nice to see.

I think it was one guy and not a "plot," but Theodore Roosevelt was shot in the midst of the 1912 campaign, when he was an ex-president. Then there was the apparent attempt by the Iraqis (Saddam and co.) to kill Bush I not long after he left office.

I don't know. If someone killed my family...you can be damn sure they will hear from me again. We created generations of new enemies. It was another war we lost
