Three Iranian-Backed Operatives Indicted for Their Roles in Nearly 20 Terrorist Attacks and Attempted Attacks Across Europe and the United States

“Anyone who plans a terrorist plot on a military base housing American servicemembers will be prosecuted by the United States government,” said @AGToddBlanche. “The defendants listed in the indictment allegedly supported two foreign terrorist organizations, and al-Saadi allegedly coordinated with his co-defendants in the days leading up to the attempted terrorist plot. This Department of Justice will continue dismantling terrorist networks and protecting the American people from terrorist organizations.”

[Embajador Ronald Johnson @USAmbMex]

Criminal networks depend on secrecy. Intelligence helps us expose them. Information shared by @DEAHQ helped Mexican authorities locate and arrest Rafael “N,” alias “R2,” a key leader of a CJNG cell linked to drug trafficking, extortion, kidnapping, and murder, along with 19 others. “R2” is also wanted for extradition to the United States. As @DEATerryCole emphasized, sharing critical intelligence strengthens our ability to identify, target, and dismantle criminal organizations. This result reinforces the work we are advancing across Mission Mexico to disrupt terrorist networks, hold those responsible accountable, and protect our communities.

Last week, #DEA Administrator Cole met with Mexico’s Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection, Omar García Harfuch, for productive discussions on our shared efforts to dismantle narco-terrorist organizations and confront the corruption that enables them.

Criminal organizations recognize no borders. Neither does our shared commitment to bringing them to justice.

Mexican authorities have arrested Rafael Álvarez Ayala, alias “R2,” a senior leader of the CJNG terrorist organization responsible for drug trafficking, extortion, kidnapping, and deadly violence across Mexico.

Intelligence shared by DEA helped Mexican authorities locate R2, who is also wanted in the United States on federal drug trafficking and firearms charges.

DEA commends the decisive actions of Mexico’s @SSPCMexico , @SEMAR_mx , SEDENA, and CNI in bringing this dangerous cartel leader into custody.

Criminal organizations operate across borders. So do the partnerships determined to dismantle them.
