Afghan refugee arrested in Election Day terror plot worked for CIA: Report

THE AFGHAN REFUGEE WHO WAS ARRESTED IN OKLAHOMA THIS WEEK FOR ALLEGEDLY PLOTTING AN ELECTION DAY TERROR ATTACK –

PREVIOUSLY SERVED AS A SECURITY GUARD IN AFGHANISTAN **FOR THE CIA –

ACCORDING TO A NEW REPORT.

OFFICIALS SAY 27 YEAR OLD “NASIR AHMAD TAWHEDI” ENTERED THE U.S. IN 2021 

JUST DAYS AFTER THE U.S. WITHDRAWAL FROM AFGHANISTAN.

AS PART OF THAT PROCESS – THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION GRANTED VISAS TO MORE THAN 70 THOUSAND AFGHANS.

ACCORDING TO THE DOJ – TAWHEDI ENTERED THE U.S. ON A VISA.

WHICH REQUIRES A THOROUGH SCREENING PROCESS.

BUT TWO U.S. OFFICIALS TELL NBC NEWS – THAT’S INACCURATE.

THAT THE INDIVIDUAL ACTUALLY ENTERED THROUGH A “HUMANITARIAN PAROLE PROGRAM” WHICH REQUIRED FAR LESS SCREENING THAN THOSE COMING OVER ON A VISA.

IT’S UNCLEAR YET WHETHER THIS MAN HAD TIES TO ISIS PRIOR TO ENTERING THE U.S. –

OR IF HE WAS RADICALIZED IN THE THREE YEARS SINCE HIS ARRIVAL.

WHILE SOURCES TELL NBC NEWS THIS INDIVIDUAL WORKED FOR THE CIA IN THE MIDDLE EAST – THE SOURCE SAYS HE WAS NOT A CIA **INFORMANT – AND HAD MINIMAL INTERACTION WITH AMERICAN PERSONNEL.

IN THE WEEKS LEADING UP TO HIS ARREST –

TAWHEDI WAS ALLEGEDLY ACTIVELY PREPARING FOR THE PLANNED ATTACK ON U.S. SOIL.

ORDERING AK 47’S.

LIQUIDATING HIS FAMILY’S ASSETS.

BUYING TWO ONE-WAY TICKETS FOR HIS WIFE AND CHILD TO RETURN TO AFGHANISTAN –

OFFICIALS SAY  IT WAS HIS PLAN TO DIE A MARTYR ALONGSIDE ONE ACCOMPLICE – IDENTIFIED AS A “JUVENILE” BY THE DOJ.

TAWHEDI HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH CONSPIRING AND ATTEMPTING TO PROVIDE MATERIAL SUPPORT TO ISIS.

AUTHORITIES HAVE NOT YET REVEALED HOW HE OR HIS PLANS CAME TO THEIR ATTENTION.
