An Afghan national who entered the United States under a Special Immigrant Visa has been charged with plotting an ISIS-inspired terror attack on Election Day. Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, 27, had been living in Oklahoma City and allegedly began stockpiling AK-47 rifles and ammunition to carry out the attack, according to the Department of Justice. Tawhedi arrived in the US on September 9, 2021, shortly after the chaotic withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan, which resulted in the Taliban regaining control of the country.

 

 

Tawhedi was granted entry under the Harris-Biden administration’s humanitarian parole program, which allowed more than 70,000 Afghans temporary legal status in the US. Tawhedi, according to the complaint, was on parole pending the outcome of his immigration proceedings.

 

 

The Justice Department revealed that in addition to gathering firearms, Tawhedi was preparing for the attack by liquidating family assets and making arrangements to resettle his relatives overseas. The FBI uncovered ISIS propaganda on his iCloud and Google accounts. One of the most alarming pieces of evidence was a video found on his phone, where he was recorded telling two children about “the rewards a martyr receives in the afterlife.” In the video, Tawhedi stated, “Martyrs will be exempted from the sufferings of the grave, placed in heaven, get married to 72 virgins, and receive a crown full of jewels.”

 

Investigators also discovered disturbing images on his phone, including a man in a suicide vest, images of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, and a portrait of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Tawhedi had also been active in ISIS-aligned Telegram groups, where he communicated with individuals involved in recruiting and training for terrorist activity. He donated $540 in cryptocurrency to a Syria-based charity that is believed to funnel money to ISIS.

 

Tawhedi allegedly planned to carry out the attack with a juvenile co-conspirator, who has also been arrested. The two exchanged messages on Telegram, including discussions about purchasing smuggled AK-47s and 500 rounds of ammunition. In one message to a known terror facilitator, Tawhedi wrote, “We found a person who deals with weapons. We bought two Kalashnikovs. Each one costs $1,200.00. We have ordered 500 bullets. What do you think, brother? Is it enough, or should we increase it?”

 

FBI Director Christopher Wray emphasized the seriousness of the case, stating, “This defendant, motivated by ISIS, allegedly conspired to commit a violent attack, on Election Day, here on our homeland. I am proud of the men and women of the FBI who uncovered and stopped the plot before anyone was harmed.” Wray also reiterated that terrorism remains the FBI’s top priority and vowed to use all resources to protect the American public.

 

Attorney General Merrick Garland also commented on the success of foiling the alleged plot, adding, “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.”

 

Tawhedi has been charged with conspiring and attempting to provide material support to ISIS. If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison. Senator James Lankford of Oklahoma noted that the case is a reminder of the ongoing threats facing the nation and praised the FBI for their work. “With the escalating conflict in Israel and across the Middle East, we must remain vigilant against terrorism here at home,” Lankford said.

More islamist terrorism, courtesy of the cackling border czar and the senile old man who is ostensibly the President.
