sentencing at a court in 2007 
Hamburg, Germany.

A Miami Beach police report released Wednesday identified the suspect as 51-year-old Dominic Puopolo. Jail records show Puopolo is being held without bail on state charges of threatening harm against a public servant. Court records do not list a lawyer for him.

The police report says Puopolo on Monday posted a video on his Twitter account stating that he would “be at the review/inauguration and I will kill President Trump, President-elect Trump” while in Washington.

This is The Same Dominic Puopolo that confronted convicted terrorist Mounir el Motassadeq in 2007 in Hamburg Germany.

Upon Mr. Motassadeq's sentencing, he turned to Dominic Puopolo and said:

“I understand your suffering,” Mr. Motassadeq said, according to The Associated Press. “The same thing is being done to me, my kids, my parents, my family; my future is ruined.”

Mr. Puopolo, a 40-year-old computer consultant from Miami Beach, Fla., whose mother was on one of the planes flown into the World Trade Center, replied that Mr. Motassadeq would be free one day.
