NEW YORK — A man arrested with a loaded AK-47 assault rifle outside the Brooklyn, New York home of an outspoken Iranian writer is due in federal court Monday amid questions about his intent.
Khalid Mehdiyev was charged with possessing a firearm with an obliterated serial number after he was seen lurking outside the home of Masih Alinejad, who was targeted last year in a kidnapping plot allegedly organized by Iranian nationals, according to the Department of Justice.
Police later pulled him over for failing to stop at a stop sign. He was arrested for driving with a suspended license, according to the complaint. Mehdiyev initially told police he was in the area of the Brooklyn home because he was looking for a place to rent and was going to knock on the woman's door asking to rent a room. He also claimed he did not know there was an assault rifle in the suitcase, according to the complaint. He later changed his story and admitted the gun belonged to him and he was"looking for someone." He then asked for a lawyer and stopped talking, according to the complaint.
"My crime is giving voice to voiceless people," she wrote."The US administration must be tough on terror."
