My question would be.."How he got here? Since he "became" a citizen, did he come in legally or DID HE SNEAK IN ILLEGALLY THRU THE SOUTHERN BORDER ?

Feds: NJ Man Eyed Empire State Building, Rock Center, NY Airports for Terror Attack  Alexei Saab was arrested in July 2019 after being questioned during 11 sessions over several weeks with FBI agents; he allegedly researched targets including Rockefeller Center, Grand Central, all three New York-area airports and other high volume locations  By Larry Neumeister • Published 4 hours ago

Alexei Saab allegedly researched targets including the Empire State Building and Rockefeller Center.

A New Jersey software developer was actually a highly trained terrorist scoping out U.S. landmarks in New York City, Washington D.C., and other major cities for possible Hezbollah attacks from 2000 to 2005, federal prosecutors say.

Opening arguments began Monday in the terror trial of 45-year-old Alexei Saab, a Morristown man who allegedly had a double identity while he worked for Hezbollah’s Islamic Jihad Organization, ready to attack Americans at popular locations if Iran was attacked by the U.S., Assistant U.S. Attorney Samuel Adelsberg said.

By day, Saab was a software engineer working for technology companies who fit in enough that he became a U.S. citizen, the prosecutor said.

By night, he was “a terrorist and spy” scoping out potential terrorism targets in New York, Boston, Washington, D.C., and abroad in France, Turkey and the Czech Republic, Adelsberg said.

Targets researched by Saab included Rockefeller Center, Grand Central Terminal, all three New York-area airports, the Brooklyn, Triborough and George Washington bridges and the Lincoln and Holland tunnels connecting New Jersey to Manhattan, among other locations, federal prosecutors said.

Saab was arrested in July 2019 after being questioned during 11 sessions over several weeks with FBI agents.

Saab’s lawyer, Marlon Kirton, said all the evidence in the case was from Saab himself and could not be considered reliable.
