FBI Foils Election-Day Terror Attack by Afghan National in the U.S. on a Special Immigrant Visa
PJ Media ^ | 10/09/2024 | Paula Bolyard

On Tuesday, the Justice Department unsealed an indictment against an Afghan national living in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, for "conspiring to conduct an Election Day terrorist attack in the United States on behalf of the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), a designated foreign terrorist organization (FTO)."

According to a Justice Department press release, "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." 

Both Tawhedi and his juvenile co-conspirator were in the U.S. on Special Immigrant Visas. Tawhedi is married to the juvenile's sister. 

"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 DOJ said. The suspect even made arrangements for the family's pets to be re-homed ahead of the attack. 

In a chilling Telegram message found on Tawhedi's phone, he told an ISIS recruiter who goes by the alias Abdul Malik, "Brother, our house was sold today. We'll receive the money by the 15th of October, next month. After that, we will begin our duty, Allah willing, with the help of Allah we will get ready for the election day." 

The Telegram messages detailed a plan for Tawhedi's family to leave the United States for Kabul on Oct. 17, 2024, using one-way tickets. His Google history revealed searches on how to access cameras in Washington, D.C., and which states allow permitless carry.

Oh they aren’t calling them “lone wolf” anymore?

I posit that is because the MSM already had S.O.P. ready for election day to blame any election day irregularities or violence on “far right” “lone wolf” in order to associate them with MAGA and Trump.

So they foiled this one in advance of the election but someone’s AI didn’t get adjusted to drop the “Lone Wolf” designation.

In the prior FR post I linked to, that article pointed out that this one wasn’t a lone wolf operation. It’s not the MSM saying it was a family of terrorists. It’s the conservative media.

I’m beginning to think that our DOJ, FBI and our CIA who are so incredibly corrupt are planning something bigger than this little ruse. All of a sudden they cannot protect a president but they find someone that’s about to cause a horrific terror attack in our own soil? Something big is up they’re still after Trump… they want to snuff him out because the cackling hyena’s poll numbers are taking a nosedive and they need to get him out of the way before Nov. 5! So who better than to blame Iran, Afghanistan and all those terrorist they let in through our border or transported by plane to accuse them of the unthinkable which will probably take place very very soon. Don’t take your eyes off of the prize…WE MUST WIN! We need to continue praying that God creates such a tremendous hedge of protection over President Trump and his family. Just like hurricane Milton our nation is about to step into a horrific rat produced hurricane of hate against Trump!

The fbi must have determined the attack was at a Democrat polling place and would suppress the Democrat vote.

If it was Republican area, they’d have let him attack.

It’s what they are doing with hurricane response. Trying to cause chaos so the white prople can’t vote.

For those that don’t know the islamic holy book calls for all muslims to kill or enslave everyone that they consider to be infidels by any means possible.

France arrests Afghan linked to US election attack plot suspect
France24 ^ | October 13, 2024
Posted on 10/13/2024, 9:47:34 AM by Oldeconomybuyer

A 22-year-old Afghan man suspected of supporting the Islamic State group has been arrested in France after police found he had links to another man charged with plotting an election-day attack in the United States. The US suspect was planning to attack a football stadium or shopping centre. According to a source close to the case, the two men are brothers.

The man, who was arrested Tuesday in southwestern France, is suspected of being an Islamic State group supporter, said a statement from prosecutors.

The US-based suspect had been in contact via the Telegram app with a person identified by the FBI as an Islamic State group recruiter, say US officials.

They alerted their French colleagues, leading to the arrest of three people aged 20 to 31 in southwestern France, a judicial source close to the French case said.

While the main suspect remains in detention, the other two have been released, prosecutors said.
