Afghan National Detained For Planning Election Day Terror Attack On Behalf Of ISIS
Thank a democrat voter for this.
The Justice Department has announced that an Afghanistan citizen
residing in the United States has been arrested for conspiring an
Election Day terrorist attack in the United States. The suspect planned
to conduct the attack on behalf of ISIS.
On Tuesday, Federal prosecutors arrested 27-year-old Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi for his plot to kill Americans on November 5th.
Tawhedi’s plan seems to have been in the works for awhile as he had
liquidated his family’s assets and resettled them overseas in
preparation for his plan. Additionally, he had an arsenal of
semiautomatic firearms and ammunition that he intended to use when
carrying out his attack.
“As charged, the Justice Department foiled the defendant’s plot to
acquire semi-automatic weapons and commit a violent attack in the name
of ISIS on U.S. soil on Election Day,” said Attorney General Merrick
Garland. “We will continue to combat the ongoing threat that ISIS and
its supporters pose to America’s national security, and we will
identify, investigate, and prosecute the individuals who seek to
terrorize the American people. I am deeply grateful to the public
servants of the FBI, National Security Division, and U.S. Attorney’s
Office for the Western District of Oklahoma for their work to disrupt
this attack and for the work they do every day to protect our country.”
“This defendant, motivated by ISIS, allegedly conspired to commit a
violent attack, on Election Day, here on our homeland,” FBI Director
Christopher Wray explained.
The 27-year-old first came to the United States on a special immigrant visa in 2021.
