The FBI said the man was involved in a scheme to smuggle four ISIS operatives into the country to kill the former president.
According to the affidavit, Shihab told a confidential source working with the FBI that he wanted to hire the informant to illegally bring ISIS associates into the U.S., and that these individuals intended to murder the former president.
Shihab traveled to Dallas in February of this year to surveil the president's home and met with others in Ohio to review possible firearms and law enforcement clothes to wear, the FBI said.
