‘Put One Bullet in Her Head’: Hitman Tells Jury How His Employers, on Orders From Iran, Told Him To Kill Iranian-American Dissident

The hitman who says he was hired to assassinate the journalist and Iranian dissident Masih Alinejad in New York City, testified in federal court, how he surveilled her home in Brooklyn for several days, waiting in vain for her to come outside so he could kill her. As he testified, Ms. Alinejad’s husband was sitting inside the courtroom.

“It’s an out of body experience that someone is describing how they’re going to do harm in such a cold way. It gets worse as more disturbing details are coming out,” Ms. Alinejad’s husband, Kambiz Foroohar, told the Sun on Wednesday during the lunch break.
