washington — 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 United States, the Justice Department said Tuesday. Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, 27, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, told investigators after his arrest Monday that he had planned his attack to coincide with Election Day next month and that he and a juvenile co-conspirator expected to die as martyrs, according to charging documents.  Tawhedi, who entered the U.S. in 2021 on a special immigrant visa, 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.  "Terrorism is still the FBI's number one priority, and we will use every resource to protect the American people," FBI Director Christopher Wray said in a statement.  After he was arrested, the Justice Department said, Tawhedi told investigators he had planned an attack for Election Day that would target large gatherings of people.  Tawhedi was charged with conspiring and attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State group, which is designated by the U.S. as a foreign terrorist organization.  It was not immediately clear if he had a lawyer who could speak on his behalf.

Megyn Kelly unloaded on Vice President Kamala Harris’ interview on “60 Minutes” and said it’s clear Harris “doesn’t know anything about foreign policy,” and “she doesn’t know the answers.” On Tuesday’s “The Megyn Kelly Show” podcast, the host broke down what she called the terrible responses Harris gave to CBS’ Bill Whitaker on his show and said after being VP for almost four years, Harris “still knows nothing.” “She doesn’t know anything about foreign policy. … When Trump became president, he had been a businessman,” Kelly said. “He had never been a world leader … but he figured it out. He figured it out darn quick because he had a lifetime of experience running things, making big decisions, and understanding the world.” “It was really kind of stunning to watch how clueless she was on her own economic plans, her lies about immigration, and, when we veered into Ukraine, China, and Israel, it was like blank stares and absolutely no answers,” she added. “She once again stuck to her script, which 9 times out of 10 means saying nothing…” @megynkelly unloads on Kamala Harris’ terrible “60 Minutes” interview and incoherent answers.

Would we use military force to support Taiwan? ‘I’m not going to get into hypotheticals.’ These are totally appropriate questions.” “These are totally fair game,” she added. “This is not a deposition. … We are entitled to answers on these questions, [but] she doesn’t know the answers. How can you look at this woman and say she is qualified to be President of the United States?” “She doesn’t know the answers. She doesn’t know anything about China,” Kelly continued. “She doesn’t know anything about Iran. She doesn’t know anything about Ukraine. She doesn’t know anything about the Middle East. … You’re interviewing for a job and we are the employers. You owe us an answer.” On the podcast Monday, Kelly’s guest Daily Wire podcast host Andrew Klavan blasted the softball interviews that Harris has been getting by going on podcasts like “The Howard Stern Show,” “The View,” and the explicit podcast “Call Her Daddy.” “The voter is being disrespected here.  … You know that’s the job she’s running for,” Klavan said. “She’s not running for ‘Momala’ … she’s running to run a country that has been driven into a serious state of disrepair and crisis on the watch of her administration.” Related: ‘Disgraceful’: Megyn Kelly Slams ABC News Debate Moderators Helping Harris

An Islamic man from Afghanistan who entered the United States under the Biden-Harris administration has been charged with allegedly planning an ISIS terrorist attack on Election Day. According to court documents, 27-year-old Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi was charged with providing, attempting to provide, and conspiracy to provide material support and resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization; and knowingly receiving, conspiring to receive, and attempting to receive firearms and ammunition to be used to commit a felony or Federal crime of terrorism. Prosecutors say that Tawhedi and a juvenile co-conspirator (CC 1) from Afghanistan took steps to raise the funds needed to carry out the attack and repatriate their family members to Afghanistan a couple weeks prior to the attack by selling their home and personal property. Tawhedi was brought to Oklahoma under the Biden-Harris administration’s special immigrant visa program following the administration’s disastrous pullout from Afghanistan. CC 1 is Tawhedi’s brother-in-law and was brought to the U.S. in 2018. The suspects had an extensive amount of ISIS propaganda that encouraged terrorist attacks on the U.S. and posing for photos while making ISIS hand gestures. Prosecutors say that Tawhedi donated to a charity in March 2024 that was a front group for funneling money to ISIS, which is a crime. The FBI started monitoring him after the donation and tracked down his social media accounts and encrypted Telegram account where he was connected to another Islamic extremist who was involved in ISIS recruitment. Tawhedi sent CC 1 other contacts and encouraged them to be put into contact with the ISIS recruitment group. Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here! In early September, an FBI Confidential Human Source (CHS 1) reached out to the suspects after they put the family’s home and personal possessions up for sale to fund the attack and their family’s repatriation to Afghanistan. CHS 1 purchased a desktop computer and laptop from the suspects and told them he needed the devices for a new gun business that he was starting. From that point, CHS 1 built a relationship with the suspects and encouraged them to come shooting and told them he would sell them weapons. Messages on his Telegram account that were obtained by investigators allegedly show Tawhedi admitting to illegally purchasing two AK-47s and 500 rounds of ammunition. After he took delivery of the rifles and ammunition, undercover agents arrested both suspects. Tawhedi said in his communications that the terrorist attack was planned for Election Day. In a post-arrest interview, investigators say that he admitted to the plot and said that he and CC 1 expected to be martyred during the attack, which was “targeting large gatherings of people,” court documents said.
