A man was arrested on suspicion of plotting to murder former US President George W. Bush. Ahmed Shihab, 52, from Iraq, is seeking political asylum in the United States. Police suspected Ahmed Shihab of being involved in the plot to assassinate George W. Bush by extraditing four Iraqis to the United States. In this regard, the FBI has submitted an affidavit in Ohio court.
The FBI has stated that it is attempting to bring in members of the Islamic State as well as Iraqi intelligence. Thousands of Iraqis were killed in the invasion of Iraq during the Bush administration. Shihab has identified himself as a relative of Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, according to the FBI.
