An Afghan national who was allowed into the United States during the Harris-Biden administration's chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan was charged Tuesday with planning an ISIS-inspired Election Day terrorist attack.
Nasir Ahmad Tauhedi, 27, lives in Oklahoma on a special immigrant visa and stockpiled AK-47 rifles and ammunition to carry out attacks on U.S. soil “in the name of ISIS,” according to the Department of Justice. It is said that measures have been taken to do so.
“This defendant was motivated by ISIS and allegedly conspired to carry out a violent attack in our homeland on Election Day,” FBI Director Christopher Wray said. “I'm proud of the members of the FBI who uncovered and stopped this conspiracy before anyone was harmed.”
He added: “Terrorism remains the FBI's top priority and we will use every resource to protect the American people.”
