FBI foils election day terror plot

An Afghan citizen living in Oklahoma has been charged with plotting a terror attack on Election Day on behalf of ISIS in which he and an underage co-conspirator expected to die as martyrs, the Justice Department said Tuesday. 27-year-old Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi obtained firearms and ammunition to conduct a violent attack on U.S. soil, as well as taking a number of steps to prepare for the plot, authorities said. He entered the United States on Sept. 9, 2021, weeks after U.S. troops pulled out of Afghanistan, on a special immigrant visa and is currently on parole status pending adjudication of his immigration proceedings.
