Munir Abdulkader devised a plan to “kill an identified military employee on account of his position with the United States government” (see [Complaint](https://pewpewhq.com/s/20150522-item-1-Complaint.pdf?ref=gijustice.com), page 5) and was arrested on May 21, 2015, after [Section 4712](https://gijustice.com/soldiers-amendment/) of the [Hate Crimes Prevention Act](https://gijustice.com/content/files/2026/05/hcpa-11.html) made it a hate crime to target victims “on account of their military service.” Abdulkader was never charged with a hate crime under [18 U.S.C. § 1389](https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1389?ref=gijustice.com).

After being recruited as a domestic terrorist, Abdulkader began carrying out a plan to behead a service member who had deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan and their spouse. His plan was to livestream the attack so the video could be used as propaganda to embolden other domestic terrorists to do the same.
