Pakistani Man Is on Trial Over Trump Assassination Plot With Ties to Iran, US Prosecutors Say
The trial began this week of a Pakistani man who U.S. prosecutors say had ties to the Iranian government and traveled to New York to meet with men he thought he was recruiting to carry out political assassinations on American soil, including potentially of President Donald Trump.

A former IDF female soldier who also holds Turkish citizenship was detained in Turkey last week while visiting her parents and was later released after U.S. diplomatic intervention, officials said
The woman was held for several hours upon arrival and then placed under house arrest. She was released on Wednesday and has since returned to Israel. The United States handled efforts to secure her release, as Israel currently has no diplomatic representation in Turkey. The detention came amid a campaign by Islamist activists in Turkey targeting female IDF soldiers with dual citizenship.
