Washington: The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in America has arrested an Afghan man for planning an attack on the election day in the country. Officials say that the arrested man was inspired by the terrorist organization Islamic State and was planning to attack a large crowd on election day in America. Nasir Ahmed Tawhidi, 27, of Oklahoma City, told investigators after his arrest that he had planned an attack on Election Day next month. He also told authorities that he and one of his companions expected to die as martyrs after the attack.
This is how preparations for the attack were being made
Officials said Naseer Ahmed Tawhidi came to the United States in September 2021 and had taken some steps in recent weeks to carry out the attack plot. For this he ordered AK 47 rifles and started selling his family property. Had also taken air tickets to send his wife and child to Afghanistan.
This was not disclosed
The FBI affidavit does not disclose how Tawhidi came to the attention of investigators, but it cites evidence in recent months that shows his determination in planning the attack. The woman, who identified herself as Tawhidi's wife, refused to comment on the matter. The woman did not reveal her name. “We don’t want to talk to the media,” she said.
