ASHINGTON (AP) — The FBI has arrested an Afghan man who officials say was inspired by the Islamic State militant organization and was plotting an Election Day attack targeting large crowds in the U.S., the Justice Department said Tuesday.
Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, 27, of Oklahoma City told investigators after his arrest Monday that he had planned his attack to coincide with Election Day next month and that he and a co-conspirator expected to die as martyrs, according to charging documents.

The arrest comes as the FBI confronts heightened concerns over the possibility of extremist violence on U.S. soil, with Director Christopher Wray telling The Associated Press in August that he was "hard pressed to think of a time in my career where so many different kinds of threats are all elevated at once.”
“Terrorism is still the FBI’s number one priority, and we will use every resource to protect the American people,” Wray said in a statement Tuesday.
An FBI affidavit does not reveal precisely how Tawhedi came onto investigators' radar, but cites what it says is evidence from recent months showing his determination in planning an attack. A photograph from July included in the affidavit depicts a man investigators identified as Tawhedi reading to two young children, including his daughter, “a text that describes the rewards a martyr receives in the afterlife.”

I wonder what the odds are that he came in through our wide open Southern Border?
And how many more lone wolves are out there?
Given the Sept 2021 date of his arrival I’ll guess he came as a ‘guest’ of the US military evacuation.
My head will be on a swivel on Election Day.
Give him the old heave-ho from a plane, like bin Laden, but don’t shoot him first.

Oklahoma City, huh?
That’s been a hotbed of muzzie violence since the Murrah Building bombing and the attempted bombing of the University of Oklahoma football game in 2005.
You got that right.
It’s all on this admin.
How do we know that this apparent Jihadi and BiXiden’s DOJ are not connected at the hip?
And that jackass Markwayne Mullin brought in as many Afghans as he could. He even went over there to try to get as many as he could.
The ignorant POS.
If the fbi is involved, they brought him into the country on a cia jet.
America changed for the worse after a Palestinian Immigrant murdered Bobby Kennedy back in 1968. The US is still reeling from that murder. A new generation has gotten used to it. We oldsters still remember the LIBERTY we had before that time which is now long gone.
Seems they never bring the fact up that guy who killed Bobby was a Palestinian.
