A prominent Palestinian activist was a target of a plot to firebomb her New York City home, according to officials. The plot was thwarted by the NYPD and the FBI.
Nerdeen Kiswani, co-founder of the group Within Our Lifetime, said she was informed by an FBI official late Thursday that “a threat on my life that was about to take place.” She said she was told that the man, Alexander Heifler, had been apprehended.
