Afghan Man Arrested on Charges of Plotting Election Day Attack
Briefly

The criminal complaint reveals that Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi engaged in extensive planning for a suicide attack on Election Day, aiming for mass casualties on behalf of the Islamic State. His intent was evidenced by his liquidation of family assets to fund both the attack and the resettlement of relatives. The FBI's investigation highlighted Tawhedi's alarming online searches related to the White House and an organized communication with an alleged ISIS member regarding the logistics of his plan.
In a deeply troubling twist, Tawhedi sought logistical support and confirmation of his plans through detailed messages to a person he believed was a member of the Islamic State, asserting his readiness for the Election Day assault. His chilling declaration, 'God willing, with the help of God, we will get ready for the election day,' underscores the serious nature of his intentions as he pursued measures to execute his violent agenda.
