00:02hello and welcome you're watching world news i am bankaj mishra from assassination threats linked
00:07to iran-backed militias to a hate-fueled shooting outside a mosque in california to mounting
00:13scrutiny around fbi director kash patel and fresh tremors in the jeffrey epstein scandal
00:19now spreading across europe this is a world where extremism power and institutional credibility
00:26are colliding in real time let's begin a serious security threat has now emerged from the middle
00:33east and this time the target is ivanka trump muhammad al-saadi a commander linked to an iran-backed
00:40iraqi militia aligned with the islamic revolutionary guard corps has reportedly threatened to assassinate
00:47the daughter of u.s president donald trump the threat is politically explosive for two reasons
00:52first it signals how iran linked proxy groups are increasingly willing to personalize confrontation
00:59with america's political elite second it comes at a time when tensions between washington and tehran
01:05remain dangerously unstable across iraq syria the red sea and the gulf u.s intelligence agencies have
01:12repeatedly warned that iranian proxy networks are evolving beyond battlefield operations into
01:19psychological and symbolic warfare and targeting a trump family member is not just a security issue
01:26it's a geopolitical message the trump administration has not officially commented yet but security
01:33monitoring around high profile political figures is expected to intensify an irgc linked militia commander
01:41now in u.s custody has reportedly threatened to assassinate ivanka trump this isn't an anonymous coast
01:49on a fringe forum this is a man the doj says coordinated nearly 20 terrorist attacks across europe a man
01:57with a documented operational history and his reason revenge muhammad al-saadi is a senior commander in
02:06katab hezbollah an iraqi militia designated by the u.s as a terrorist organization and directly linked to
02:14iran's revolutionary guard he was arrested and charged in mid-may 2026 with a list of offenses that reads
02:22like a counterterrorism case study material support to the irgc directing bombings arson and stabbings
02:30targeting u.s and jewish interests across europe and plotting attacks on american soil including a synagogue
02:37in new york but it's one specific threat that has intelligence circles on high alert according to
02:44i-24 news citing sourced reporting al-saadi vowed to assassinate evampa trump the motive revenge for
02:53the 2020 u.s strike that killed irgc quds force commander qasem soleimani al-saadi reportedly viewed
03:01soleimani as a mentor an uncle figure he has a documented history of posting alongside soleimani
03:08and publicly calling for revenge against americans ever since that strike court filings confirm his
03:15broader calls for violence against trump family members against jewish communities against u.s
03:22interests globally he also set up a new proxy network specifically designed to carry out attacks
03:28while maintaining deniability for tehran al-saadi is now in u.s custody facing charges that could mean
03:36life in prison the secret service does not comment on specific protective measures but a threat of this
03:42nature from an operative of this profile is treated with full seriousness iranian proxy networks have a
03:50well-documented pattern threaten probe and when the window opens act american counterterrorism has
03:57disrupted them repeatedly but the threat doesn't disappear when one commander is arrested these networks are built to
04:05survive exactly that ivanka trump has not commented publicly the investigation is active
04:12america is once again confronting the violent reality of radicalized hate authorities in california have
04:18identified two teenian suspects in the deadly shooting outside the islamic center of san diego that left three people dead
04:2617 year old kane clark and 18 year old chalib velasquez were later found dead inside a bmw from self
04:35-inflicted gunshot wounds
04:37investigators say anti-islamic writings were discovered inside the vehicle while hate slogans had reportedly been written
04:44directly onto the firearms used in the attack one of the suspects allegedly left behind a suicide note referencing racial
04:52pride
04:53the case is now intensifying concerns around online radicalization among young americans especially
05:01as extremist narratives increasingly spread through closed digital ecosystems gaming forums and fringe social
05:09media networks what makes this attack particularly disturbing is the age of the suspects the fbi has repeatedly
05:16warned that lone wolf extremism and hate based violence are becoming younger faster and harder to detect and
05:26today another american community is mourning life's loss to ideology driven violence
05:34the morning of the san diego mosque attack one suspect's own mother called the police she said her son was
05:41missing
05:42suicidal that he'd taken her car and her guns officers were standing with her when the shooting began
05:50so here's the question everyone's asking was this a hate crime a mental health crisis or both
05:57when the mother returned home she found a note her son had left behind investigators recovered it
06:03they've read it and they are not releasing the full contents citing the active investigation
06:09but here's what has come out the note referenced racial pride that's not the language of someone in a
06:16private mental breakdown that's ideology that's a world view and it connects directly to what else was
06:24found anti-islamic writings inside the vehicle where both suspects were found dead hate speech written
06:31directly onto one of the firearms a gas canister outside the car bearing an ss insignia nazi symbolism
06:40this was not a cry for help this was a mission but here's where it gets complicated kane clark 17
06:48was on his
06:49high school wrestling team he was a senior on track to graduate his mother described him as suicidal that
06:56very morning not radicalized not dangerous just a kid she was worried about losing and yet the evidence
07:04tells a different story or maybe a second story running alongside the first mental health crises and
07:12radicalization are not mutually exclusive researchers have documented how extremist communities specifically
07:19recruit young people who are isolated depressed and searching for meaning they offer belonging purpose
07:26an enemy to blame was kane clark a victim of that pipeline investigators are looking at his digital
07:34footprint right now three men are dead a security guard a father of eight gave his life to keep the
07:41gunman from entering that mosque every child inside that school made it home safely the full picture of
07:49why this happened is still emerging but the suicide note the nazi symbols the anti-islamic writings they
07:56suggest this wasn't one thing it was everything converging at once and that's what makes it so hard
08:04and so important to understand fbi director kash patel is now facing mounting political pressure after
08:15explosive allegations involving the use of taxpayer funded resources for personal travel and luxury
08:21outings according to reports patel allegedly used government aircraft fbi security teams and federal
08:28resources during trips involving his girlfriend alexis wilkins including a vip country concert
08:35appearance and a controversial pearl harbor snorkeling excursion the allegations are already triggering outrage
08:44in washington critics argue the issue goes beyond optics at a time when public trust in american
08:50institutions is under strain accusations involving misuse of government privilege strike directly at the
08:56credibility of federal law enforcement leadership supporters of patel insist security protocols for fbi
09:03directors often require logistical support regardless of destination but opponents are now demanding
09:10transparency on costs authorizations and whether federal resources crossed ethical lines in an election
09:18driven political climate the controversy could quickly become another flashpoint in america's
09:24which is widening institutional wars 900 sailors are still buried inside that ship their tomb sits at the bottom of
09:35pearl harbor
09:36and the director of the fbi just went snorkeling around it kash patel runs the fbi he controls thousands of
09:45agents federal surveillance infrastructure and a budget the size of a small country
09:51one of the most powerful law enforcement officers on earth but right now people aren't talking about
09:58what he's doing with that power they're talking about what he's doing with the plane
10:03may 10th 2025 patel and his girlfriend country singer alexis wilkins board the fbi's gulfstream v and fly
10:13from washington to philadelphia destination a george strait and chris stapleton concert
10:20they watched from a private suite worth 35 000 to 50 000 the crew waits on overtime until 11 pm
10:28then flies them home to virginia who paid for the suite patel refused to say
10:36this wasn't a one-time thing he'd already flown to penn state to watch wilkins perform at a pro wrestling
10:42event he showed up in the olympic hockey locker room in milan he assigned four swat agents and two suvs
10:50to
10:51guard her on personal errands at an estimated cost of one million dollars a year every trip every agent
10:59every overtime hour taxpayer money and then came hawaii the fbi said the trip was official business
11:08field office tours law enforcement meetings press releases what they didn't say patel took a vip
11:16snorkel coordinated by the u.s military around the wreckage of the uss arizona the arizona is
11:24not a tourist attraction it's a war grave no fbi director going back to at least 1993 had ever done
11:33this it wasn't on his public schedule the fbi never disclosed it government emails did a navy veteran
11:42and naval academy historian called it horrifying as respectful as playing kickball on top of the graves
11:49at arlington a marine who watches over the site said it felt like a bachelor party the fbi called
11:57the coverage stupid they said indo-pacific command routinely arranges these engagements for government
12:04officials the white house backed patel fully but here's the detail that cuts through it all
12:12before taking this job kash patel publicly attacked his predecessor for using a government jet for personal
12:19travel travel his words chris ray doesn't need a government-funded gv jet to go on vacation
12:26maybe we ground that plane he said that on the record then he took the job and kept the jet
12:34agents
12:35across multiple field offices are quietly walking out anybody who can retire has said one former senior
12:42official the rest are counting the days power doesn't just corrupt it reveals it shows you exactly what
12:51a person believes the rules are for and who they believe the rules are for 900 men are still at
12:59the bottom
13:00of that harbor they never got to find out the jeffrey epstein scandal is no longer confined to the united
13:07states now french prosecutors now say at least 10 new suspected victims have emerged in the country's

13:21around 20 individuals have come forward after french authorities appealed publicly for testimony earlier this

14:41millions of documents thousands of names and a dead man who according to official records killed himself
14:50inside one of the most surveilled prisons in america while cameras malfunctioned guards slept through checks

16:55but official records later revealed that noel and another guard allegedly spent hours sleeping
17:01and browsing the internet instead of conducting mandatory checks investigators discovered that less than an
17:09hour before epstein's body was found noel searched online for updates about epstein in jail when questioned
17:17later she claimed she did not remember making the search then there were the bank deposits 12 cash deposits into
17:26noel's account reportedly flagged by jp morgan chase between late 2018 and mid 2019 including one shortly before epstein's death
17:38those deposits were never fully investigated now congress wants answers the house oversight committee has called noel
17:48and then there is the surveillance footage for years people focused on a mysterious missing minute in the prison video
17:56officials later claimed it was caused by a routine nightly reset and the full footage reportedly showed nothing unusual
18:05but investigators noticed something else a brief orange colored figure appearing near epstein's cell block around 10 40 pm during
18:15lockdown hours
18:16the fbi suggested it may have been an inmate or staff carrying linen no one has publicly identified the figure
