To get revenge for the US killing of an Iranian Commander, a woman allegedly stabbed her date during sex, police said. Nika Nikoubin, 21, stabbed her date, whom she had met online in retaliation for the 2020 death of Qassem Soleimani, an Iranian general killed in an American drone strike.
KLAS-TV reported, Nikoubin has been charged with attempted murder, battery with a deadly weapon, and burglary.
Henderson police wrote in an arrest report, Nikoubin and the man met online on a dating website. On March 5, The pair agreed to meet at Sunset Station hotel and rent a room together.
