The image of Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, the alleged terrorist, has been unveiled following his indictment on charges of plotting a terrorist attack on Election Day.
Alejandro Mayorkas, the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security under the Biden-Harris administration, was unable to provide an explanation as to why the Afghan immigrant, who seemingly harbored terrorist intentions, was permitted entry into the country.
According to The Post Millennial, Tawhedi, a 27-year-old resident of Oklahoma City, OK, was apprehended by FBI agents earlier this week. The arrest followed an investigation into the Afghan national, which revealed his accumulation of automatic weapons with the intention of orchestrating a terrorist attack on Election Day. It was further disclosed that Tawhedi had been granted parole into the United States by the DHS. KOCO has since released his photograph.
When confronted by a reporter about the alleged terrorist's entry into the country, Mayorkas refrained from responding. He stated that the current setting was inappropriate for such a discussion, choosing instead to focus on the devastation caused by Hurricane Milton. "I'm here in North Carolina, communicating with the individuals who are still conducting search and rescue operations, over 200 people have lost their lives in hurricane Helene. We have reports that at least 10 individuals have lost their lives as a result of Hurricane Milton. I'd be very pleased to answer your question in a different setting, but we're here to talk about emergencies and the support that we can deliver to people in desperate need."
The White House, when questioned about Tawhedi, declined to comment on the specific case. However, they assured that every Afghan national is thoroughly screened and vetted upon their arrival in the US.
The FBI released a statement on Tuesday, which read, "According to a criminal complaint filed today, Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, 27, conspired and attempted to provide material support to ISIS and obtained firearms and ammunition to conduct a violent attack on U.S. soil in the name of ISIS. As part of the plot, the defendant allegedly took steps to liquidate his familys assets, resettle members of his family overseas, acquire AK-47 assault rifles and ammunition, and commit a terrorist attack in the United States.
The unanswered questions surrounding Tawhedi's entry into the country, despite his alleged terrorist inclinations, raise concerns about the effectiveness of the current administration's vetting processes. These concerns are further amplified by the Secretary's reluctance to address the issue, opting instead to focus on unrelated matters.
