Prosecutors: Professor’s Son Planned Mass Execution of Jews
Federal authorities have apprehended a 21-year-old man from New Jersey, Milo Sedarat, for allegedly planning mass executions targeting Jewish individuals. This case is part of a larger investigation into an ISIS-inspired terror plot that was disrupted prior to Halloween.
Details of the Allegations
Sedarat is one of six suspects facing charges across three states. Prosecutors allege that he crafted detailed fantasies about violently attacking members of the Jewish community. In messages to a friend, he reportedly expressed his desire for a second Holocaust, stating, “everyone hates the Jews now.”
Specific Threats Made by Sedarat
- Threatened to kill his mother’s Jewish friends.
- Voiced intentions to harm Jewish individuals during campus protests.
- Fantasized about executing 500 Jewish men in front of their families.
Sedarat claimed he wanted to confront Jewish people personally, asserting he preferred to use a sword over a gun. “Look them in the eyes…As I take their women and stab them,” he allegedly wrote.
Evidence Collected by Authorities
Federal agents recovered multiple videos showing Sedarat with swords and knives. He also shared a video from a shooting range, adding to the concerns about his potential for violent action. In one chilling exchange, he discussed strapping a bomb to himself and attacking a company headquarters in Palo Alto, California.
Arrest and Charges
On November 6, 2025, federal agents arrested Sedarat at his father’s home in Montclair, New Jersey. The arrest involved tactical units, underscoring the serious nature of the threat he posed. He did not enter a plea during his initial court appearance.
Background of the Suspect
Milo Sedarat’s father is a noted Iranian-American poet and English professor at Queens College, New York City. The family has not publicly commented on the situation as investigations continue.
This case highlights the rising concerns surrounding antisemitism and the potential for domestic terrorism in the wake of heightened tensions related to international conflicts.
