Supari Killer Ka Fail Plan
Yeh baat hai July 2022 ki, jab 27 saal ka Khalid Mehdiyev, jo khud ko Russian mob ka member batata tha, ek Iranian-American journalist aur activist Masih Alinejad ko maarne ke mission pe nikla. Use $30,000 mein supari mili thi, aur uske Azerbaijani saathiyon ne use yeh kaam diya tha. Reports ke mutaabik, Irani government ne unhe $500,000 diye the.
Lekin ek perfect hit karne ki bajaye, Mehdiyev apni hi galtiyon se pakda gaya. Uski blunders aisi thi jaise kisi dark comedy film se nikli ho.
Target Se Dosti Karne Ki Nakam Koshish
Mehdiyev apni Illinois number plate wali Subaru Forester mein 27 July, 2022 ko Ms. Alinejad ke ghar ke bahar pahuncha. Agle do din tak woh wahin gaadi mein baitha raha, dekhta raha, aur wait karta raha. Lekin chupke se rehne ki bajaye, usne ek ke baad ek galtiyan ki. Usne Ms. Alinejad ko text kiya, aur usse dosti karne ki koshish ki, woh bhi buri English mein.
“U the best journalist,” usne ek message mein likha.
“Hey. How are you. I wanna make immigrants paper, do u can help for that?” usne dusre message mein likha, jismein woh Ms. Alinejad ke asylum seekers ki madad karne wale kaam ka jikr kar raha tha.
Lekin Mehdiyev ko legal aid nahi chahiye thi.
“Main uski life mein ghusne ki koshish kar raha tha,” usne baad mein court mein bataya. “Main usko maarne ka aasan raasta dhund raha tha.”
Ghatiya Stakeout
Uska plan bilkul bhi professional nahi tha. Woh baar-baar apni car se bahar nikalta, ghar ke aas paas ghumta, Ms. Alinejad ki khidkiyon se jhaankta, aur darwaze ka handle bhi hilata. Aur jaise yeh sab kaafi nahi tha, usne khane ka order bhi kiya – apne stakeout location pe!
Ms. Alinejad ko shak ho gaya. Usne FBI ko report kar diya.
Galat Turn, Aur Phir Pakda Gaya
Dusre din, Mehdiyev abhi bhi journalist ke ghar ke bahar parked tha. Lekin usne ek aakhri galti kar di – usne ek stop sign tod diya, jabki police pass mein hi thi. Is traffic violation ki wajah se police ne use Ms. Alinejad ke ghar ke bahar hi rok liya.
Police ko pata chala ki woh bina license ke drive kar raha hai, aur unhone gaadi ki talaashi lene ka faisla kiya.
Unhe jo mila woh bahut hi khatarnak tha.
Uski SUV ki backseat mein, ek suitcase ke andar, ek AK-47 mili, jiska serial number mitaya hua tha. Paas mein hi ek ski mask bhi tha – isse saaf tha ki yeh so-called hitman sirf surveillance ke liye nahi aaya tha.
Sachchai Samne Aayi
Jab usse poochtach ki gayi, toh Mehdiyev ne bahane banane shuru kar diye. Usne kaha ki woh rent ke liye jagah dhund raha tha aur sirf room ke bare mein poochhne ke liye ghar ke paas gaya tha – aur phir usne apna mann badal liya.
Assault rifle ke bare mein, usne kaha ki jab usne gaadi udhaar li thi, toh woh pehle se hi usmein thi.
Kisi ko bhi uski baat pe vishwas nahi hua.
Arrest Aur Dharam
Use arrest kar liya gaya aur uske bosses uski nakami se khush nahi the. Jail mein, Mehdiyev ne ek phone haasil kar liya aur apne handler, Polad Omarov ko call kiya.
“Where the f
k you at? How the f
k are you in jail? You were at the journalist’s house!” Omarov gusse mein bola.Phir ek dhamki aayi – Omarov ne Mehdiyev ke pure parivar ko maarne ki dhamki di.
”Main Maarne Gaya Tha…”
Arrest hone ke baad, Mehdiyev ne court mein sachchai batayi: “Main wahan journalist ko maarne ki koshish karne gaya tha.” Usne yeh bhi bataya ki use is kaam ke liye $30,000 diye gaye the aur usne pehle uske ghar mein aag lagane ka socha tha. Lekin woh pakka tha. “We have to kill her.”
Mask? “Apna chehra chhupane ke liye, jab main journalist ko maarne wala tha.”
Uski gawahi Rafat Amirov aur Polad Omarov ke khilaf chal rahe case ke dusre din aayi, jo uske Azerbaijani saathi the aur jinhone use yeh kaam diya tha. Reports ke mutaabik, yeh teeno ek hi gang ke member the, aur Irani government ne unhe yeh assassination karne ke liye hire kiya tha.
Federal prosecutor Jacob Gutwillig ne kaha, “The defendants were hired guns for the government of Iran. Masih Alinejad was almost gunned down on the streets of New York City by a hitman sent by the defendants.”
Amirov aur Omarov ne khud ko begunah bataya hai. Unke lawyer, Michael Martin ne prosecution ke case ko circumstantial bataya, jo “ek murderer aur jhoothe ki gawahi” pe based hai.
Masih Alinejad, jo Iran ke regime ki sakht aalochana karti hain, pehle bhi kai assassination attempts se bach chuki hain.
