The FBI reported on Tuesday that Iraq was in a relationship with ISIS and had lived in the United States since 2020
organizing the assassination of former President George W. Bush.
The FBI wrote in a publicly released document that the man was accused of "assisting and supporting the attempted murder of a former President of the United States."
Shahab Ahmed Shihab :
- who arrived legally in the United States in September 2020
- tried to recruit and bring other Iraqis to carry out the attack and conducted detection
- and reconnaissance operations in Dallas
- Texas, near places linked to the former Republican president (2001-2009).
The document stated that the Panel's personnel wanted to kill former President Bush because he was responsible for the killing of many Iraqis after his military intervention in Iraq, which began in 2003.
CNN said it had seen those documents and stated that the role of the Iraqi citizen included surveying the neighbourhood where Bush's home was located in Dallas, as well as other tasks related to the planning of the operation.
However, the documents do not show that Shahab was charged with a crime, according to CNN.
- The man apparently planned to smuggle the killers into the United States,
- across its border with Mexico
- as the search warrant published by Forbes indicated parts of it
- which was issued on March 23.
Forbes quoted the FBI as saying it had unveiled the scheme through the work of two undercover informants and the surveillance of the accused's account on Watts Up.

"Forbes": revelation of plan to assassinate former US President George Bush Jr.
The American magazine Forbes revealed a plan to assassinate former U.S.
President George Bush Jr. in Texas, Dallas, last November.
"The alleged activist was associated with ISIS and travelled to Dallas to photograph the former president's house, and he hoped his collaborators would infiltrate the Mexican border."
The FBI announced that it had disclosed the scheme through the work of two undercover informants and the monitoring of the account of the alleged scheme on the Meta-owned WhatsApp platform.
According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation
the suspect said he "wanted to assassinate Bush because he felt the former president was responsible for killing many Iraqis and dismantling the country after the 2003 U.S. military invasion."
The FBI memo revealed that the conspiracy regulator had been in the United States since 2020 and had had a pending asylum application
and the second alleged agent of the alleged people smuggler
In November, the suspect revealed to the FBI
the Bush assassination plot
and asked the undercover source whether he knew how to "obtain a duplicate or forged copy of the police or the identities and badges of the FBI to help carry out the operation
and whether the conspirators could be smuggled out of the country in the same way that they entered after the completion of their mission."
Investigators said the alleged smuggler also wanted to find and assassinate a former Iraqi general because he had helped Americans during the war and was believed to be living with a fictitious identity in the United States.
- The memo said that the alleged scheme was part of a unit called "Al-Ra 'ad"
- which was led by a former Iraqi pilot stationed in Qatar until his recent death
- indicating that the unit would have sent up to seven members to
- the United States to kill Bush.
The suspect's function was to "locate, monitor and obtain firearms and vehicles for use in the assassination", and after travelling to Dallas with the informant to videotape Bush's home, the accused captured further footage at the George W. Bush Institute.
