An Iraqi citizen living in Ohio, Shihab Ahmed Shihab, 53, was sentenced to more than 14 years in prison for attempting to provide material support to terrorists in a plot to assassinate former President George W. Bush. Court records revealed that Shihab believed President Bush was responsible for the deaths of many Iraqis and the destruction of Iraq during 'Operation Iraqi Freedom.'
Shihab, who had aided al Qaeda as a gun runner during the war, planned to smuggle ISIS sympathizers into the United States to carry out the assassination. His plot involved two former Iraqi intelligence agents who were to execute the attack while he coordinated logistics and scouted President Bush's Texas home.
