A Pakistani-born US citizen has been taken into custody on charges for allegedly making threats of terrorism against county officials, local American media reported on Thursday.
Saad Lodhi started making threats after federal lawsuits he filed against FairfaxCounty were dismissed, foreign media reported.
According to the affidavit, Lodhi sent threatening emails to several county officials since May 2012.
“Lodhi sent an email … with the statement ‘Advise the Board of Supervisors to start hiring new commonwealth attorneys because I’m about to tell them what municipal fatality means very soon’,” the affidavit said.
In an April 3 email to the Board of Supervisors, Lodhi is quoted as writing, “Dear Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, just to give you an update, we are now proceeding to the next phase of warfare. I just submitted a concealed weapons permit… and once that clears through, I have a special gift for FairfaxCounty commonwealth attorney – click click click.”
