It’s a good thing our national security apparatus only let this guy plan this attack for [checks notes] three years before arresting him:

The FBI has arrested an Afghan man who officials say was inspired by the Islamic State militant organization and was plotting an Election Day attack targeting large crowds in the U.S., the Justice Department said Tuesday. …

[27-year-old Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi], who arrived in the U.S. in 2021, had taken steps in recent weeks to advance his attack plans, including by ordering AK-47 rifles, liquidating his family’s assets and buying one-way tickets for his wife and child to travel home to Afghanistan.

He’s been here since 2021, after Joe Biden’s botched Afghanistan withdrawal. Fantastic.

Here’s a shot of the alleged terrorist plotter:

According to the Justice Department, the guy was making major moves to pull off his violent attack:

According to the criminal complaint, as part of the investigation into Tawhedi, the FBI searched Tawhedi’s phone and obtained communications between Tawhedi and a person who facilitated recruitment, training, and indoctrination of persons who expressed interest in terrorist activity and who Tawhedi understood to be affiliated with ISIS. Tawhedi was also seen in a video recorded on July 20 reading to two children text that describes the rewards a martyr receives in the afterlife. Tawhedi also allegedly accessed, viewed, and saved ISIS propaganda on his iCloud and Google account, participated in pro-ISIS Telegram groups, and contributed to a charity which fronts for and funnels money to ISIS.

Both Tawhedi and his co-conspirator were arrested. Who is his fellow plotter? Well, the FBI isn’t releasing his name, because:

The complaint alleges that while liquidating their family’s assets prior to the attack, Tawhedi and his co-conspirator, who is a juvenile, advertised the sale of the family’s personal property on Facebook.

You might also be wondering how Tawhedi ended up here in the first place:

Tawhedi entered the U.S. on a special immigrant visa, a program that permits eligible Afghans who helped Americans despite great personal risk to themselves and their loved ones to apply for entry into America with their families.

For all that help he gave us, he still wanted to kill us — huh!
