"In the fall, an officer from Iran’s Quds Force met with Agil Aslanov, a drug trafficker from Georgia, according to Western and Middle Eastern security officials. The officer handed Aslanov a photo of a prominent Jewish figure in Azerbaijan and detailed instructions on how to kill him. Aslanov agreed to kill Rabbi Shneor Segal for a price tag of $200.000. The plot, foiled by the State Security Service of Azerbaijan in early January, also involved a plan to attack an education center. Aslanov and a local accomplice were arrested and charged with conspiring to commit a terrorist act," according to The Washington Post.
