Terror Suspect Scouted Fenway, The Pru For Possible Attack: Feds

A man who federal prosecutors said was working on behalf of a terror organization was arrested after allegedly scouting locations for possible attacks in cities, including Boston. Alexei Sabb took photos of Fenway Park, the Prudential Center and Quincy Market, according to the office of Geoffrey Berman, US Attorney for New York's southern district.

"As a member of the Hizballah component that coordinates external terrorist attack planning, Alexei Saab allegedly used his training to scout possible targets throughout the U.S.," Berman said in a release. "Even though Saab was a naturalized American citizen, his true allegiance was to Hizballah, the terrorist organization responsible for decades of terrorist attacks that have killed hundreds, including U.S. citizens and military personnel."

Hizballah is another way of spelling Hezbollah.

Saab also scouted locations in Washington, D.C., and New York City, including Times Square and the Statue of Liberty.

Saab, 42, lives in Morristown, New Jersey. He has been part of Hizballah since 1996, prosecutors said in a court filing. He legally entered the United State using a Lebanese passport in 2000 and become a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2008.

Saab faces a litany of federal charges ranging terrorism to marriage and naturalization fraud.
