(Daily Wire) An Islamic man from Afghanistan who entered the United States under the Biden-Harris administration has been charged with allegedly planning an ISIS terrorist attack on Election Day.
According to court documents, 27-year-old Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi was charged with providing, attempting to provide, and conspiracy to provide material support and resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization; and knowingly receiving, conspiring to receive, and attempting to receive firearms and ammunition to be used to commit a felony or Federal crime of terrorism.
Prosecutors say that Tawhedi and a juvenile co-conspirator (CC 1) from Afghanistan took steps to raise the funds needed to carry out the attack and repatriate their family members to Afghanistan a couple weeks prior to the attack by selling their home and personal property.
Tawhedi was brought to Oklahoma under the Biden-Harris administration’s special immigrant visa program following the administration’s disastrous pullout from Afghanistan. CC 1 is Tawhedi’s brother-in-law and was brought to the U.S. in 2018.
The suspects had an extensive amount of ISIS propaganda that encouraged terrorist attacks on the U.S. and posing for photos while making ISIS hand gestures.
Prosecutors say that Tawhedi donated to a charity in March 2024 that was a front group for funneling money to ISIS, which is a crime.
The FBI started monitoring him after the donation and tracked down his social media accounts and encrypted Telegram account where he was connected to another Islamic extremist who was involved in ISIS recruitment.
Tawhedi sent CC 1 other contacts and encouraged them to be put into contact with the ISIS recruitment group.
