A 27-year-old Afghan national who entered the US shortly after the Biden-Harris administration's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan has been arrested for allegedly planning an Election Day massacre in the name of the Islamic State.
Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, who'd been living in Oklahoma, was arrested Monday after traveling to a ranch to obtain two AK-47 rifles, 10 magazines and hundreds of rounds of ammunition he'd purchased from an undercover FBI informant. Tawhedi is also accused of recruiting a co-conspirator who hasn't been named because he's under 18 years old.
