Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi plot on behalf of ISIS

Aghan national Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi,27, was arrested for plotting an Election Day terror attack on behalf of ISIS.

Election Day plot

“According to a criminal complaint filed today, Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, 27, conspired and attempted to provide material support to ISIS and obtained firearms and ammunition to conduct a violent attack on U.S. soil in the name of ISIS. As part of the plot, the defendant allegedly took steps to liquidate his family’s assets, resettle members of his family overseas, acquire AK-47 assault rifles and ammunition, and commit a terrorist attack in the United States…

The complaint alleges that while liquidating their family’s assets prior to the attack, Tawhedi and his co-conspirator, who is a juvenile, advertised the sale of the family’s personal property on Facebook. At the FBI’s direction, a confidential human source responded to inquire if a computer was still for sale. The FBI source noted that he needed the computer for a new gun business he was starting, which ultimately led Tawhedi and the juvenile to meet with the source and other FBI assets at a rural location to test firearms. Tawhedi expressed interest in purchasing two AK-47 assault rifles, magazines, and ammunition from the source…

According to the criminal complaint, on Oct. 7, Tawhedi and the juvenile met with the FBI assets at a rural location in the Western District of Oklahoma and purchased, received, and took possession of two AK-47 assault rifles, ten magazines, and 500 rounds of ammunition. Upon receipt of the rifles and ammunition, Tawhedi and the juvenile were arrested.

In his seized communications, Tawhedi allegedly indicated that his attack was planned for Election Day, and in a post-arrest interview, Tawhedi allegedly confirmed the attack was planned for Election Day targeting large gatherings of people, during which he and the juvenile were expected to die as martyrs.DOJ release

Tawhedi was charged with “conspiring and attempting to provide material support to ISIS” and “receiving a firearm to be used to commit a felony or a federal crime of terrorism.” The case is being investigated by the Oklahoma City FBI office. The punishment for those charges is 20 years and 15 years, respectively.

The juvenile is reportedly a student at Southmoore High School and is the younger brother of Tawhedi’s wife.

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

The election day plot first raised alarms on Tawhedi’s TikTok account. But he was on the list for a special visa after the Afghanistan debacle.

Just the News reported that Tawhedi was granted special parole permission to enter the country during Operation Allies Refuge following the withdrawal from Afghanistan, according to a senior U.S. official speaking on condition of anonymity. The unsealed criminal complaint confirms that Tawhedi was granted a Special Immigrant Visa (SIV). Just the News

Thanks, Biden,  you did it again.
