Tawhedi was here on a Special Immigrant Visa. Those were given to Afghans who aided U.S. forces in Afghanistan, and thus were assumed to be “moderate” without any kind of examination whatsoever.
“Afghan National Arrested for Plotting an Election Day Terrorist Attack in the Name of ISIS,” Justice Department, October 8, 2024:
The Justice Department today announced charges against a citizen of Afghanistan residing in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, for conspiring to conduct an Election Day terrorist attack in the United States on behalf of the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), a designated foreign terrorist organization (FTO).
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 family’s assets, resettle members of his family overseas, acquire AK-47 assault rifles and ammunition, and commit a terrorist attack in the United States….
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.
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. At the FBI’s direction, a confidential human source responded to inquire if a computer was still for sale. The FBI source noted that he needed the computer for a new gun business he was starting, which ultimately led Tawhedi and the juvenile to meet with the source and other FBI assets at a rural location to test firearms. Tawhedi expressed interest in purchasing two AK-47 assault rifles, magazines, and ammunition from the source.
According to the criminal complaint, on Oct. 7, Tawhedi and the juvenile met with the FBI assets at a rural location in the Western District of Oklahoma and purchased, received, and took possession of two AK-47 assault rifles, ten magazines, and 500 rounds of ammunition. Upon receipt of the rifles and ammunition, Tawhedi and the juvenile were arrested.
In his seized communications, Tawhedi allegedly indicated that his attack was planned for Election Day, and in a post-arrest interview, Tawhedi allegedly confirmed the attack was planned for Election Day targeting large gatherings of people, during which he and the juvenile were expected to die as martyrs….

Oklahoma City has suffered enough at the hands of screwed-in-the-skull terrorists.
A question. Terry Nichols and the late Timothy McVeigh were said to be ultra-rightwing radicals, but is it possible that they may have had ties to Islamic jihadist groups as well?
CryHavoc says
Not likely. The Islamists like this in question are Fervent if not Fanatic/Zealot. They would regard any non Muslim as an infidel.
Mike says
CryHavoc: that’s true, but as Hardy and Clarke state in their anti-Michael Moore book: “Terrorists can be quite practical people. They don’t necessarily allow personal dislikes to preclude them from working together against a common foe.”
For example, Sunnis and Shias generally regard each other as fecal, yet they’ll often join together against Israel or Western countries.
Jihadists will also, of course, ally themselves with Western Communists, and with countries such as China, Russia, North Korea, Venezuela and Cuba in order to oppose the West in general, and the United States in particular.
somehistory says
Tim McVeigh read “The Turner Diaries” and got his ideas from that book.
libertyORdeath says
Those guys were working for federal agents who had infiltrated their group via Operation PATCON
https://libertarianinstitute.org/articles/its-time-we-get-answers-about-the-fbis-involvement-in-the-okc-bombing/
I think they just released new info about the FBI agents involved in the case.
McVeigh was a patriotic anti-government terrorist. He was pushed to do the bombing by government agents and informants. Radical Islam was a small side-issue at the time.

Mike, I know I’ve read articles suggesting links–but I can’t find anything right now.
somehistory says
“The Turner Diaries was described as being “explicitly racist and anti-Semitic” by The New York Times and has been labeled the “bible of the racist right” by the FBI.[6][7] The book has been influential in shaping white nationalism and the later development of the white genocide conspiracy theory. It has also inspired numerous hate crimes and acts of terrorism, including the 1984 assassination of Alan Berg, the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, and the 1999 London nail bombings. It is estimated to have influenced perpetrators in over 200 killings.”
I don’t have my course work/texts handy, so I copied this from wiki.
that one paragraph basically explains the ideas McVeigh was working with. But there is much more.
From the first paragraph about the book and its plot or theme:
“It depicts a violent revolution in the United States which leads to the overthrow of the federal government, a nuclear war, and ultimately a race war which leads to the systematic extermination of non-whites and Jews.[3][4] All groups opposed by the novel’s protagonist, Earl Turner—including Jews, non-white people, “liberal actors,” and politicians—are murdered en masse.[5]”

What produces haters?
It’s not loving mothers.
CryHavoc says
I split Millennials into two groups. Millennial II (born 1990 or later) are perhaps the first generation of children raised on No Consequence Parenting. This leads to adults without any coping mechanisms if life takes a bad turn.

Many Jihadists learn Jihad from their mothers–but otherw lean it from their Imams, Islamic community,.or Jihadists online.
Goofy says
What a better way for a self-righteous Muslim to make this statement that he loves the laws of Allah, the Shari’a and hates the laws of mere human beings?
Killing naive Christian Americans to his heart’s desire and to the honour of the ultimate self-made man Allah is the true way to celebrate!
WPM says
Will he or someone in the democratic party be using his identity to vote for Harris and Walz on election day with mail in early voting? Asking for a friend ,early voting ,mail in voting ,no id voting what could possible go wrong? Just think if she gets elected America will be welcoming many more “dreamers” like him a citizen of America nightmare.
Patrick Kelley says
Folks will read this post, convince themselves, a Muslim gone wrong. All Muslims are good and peaceful, BULLSHIT! All male/female Muslims are potential terrorists, funder’s of Islamic jihad. America is so ignorant, the realities of Islam.
If the Muslim sidekick was American, one has to realize, Muslim’s champion the technique of brainwashing, with little effort, the jihadist had a follower. Having an American beside him, when he made the purchase, was epic. Muslim immigrants in America, are here to control, control of you and me. Muslim’s conquer continents. Muslim enclaves in America are coming about quickly, Dearborn, MI, Shelbyville, TN, Greeley, Colorado, Minneapolis, St. Paul, MN, New York City, NY. Islam is being taught in American schools, a plethora of children’s books can be found in county public libraries. We have Muslim NFL players, Muslim politicians, Muslim doctors and nurses, Muslim employees in America run the gamut.
Muslim’s lie, deceive, and subvert those around them, in any country, to control them, to brainwash them. How many Muslim’s do you know, of course, they’re all apostates. MY ASS! Are you brainwashed in thinking they’re peaceful?

The “Special Immigrant Visa” needs to go away, especially when it comes to muslims. If there were muslims who worked w/ our troops in Afghanistan or Iraq (which could have been purely for mercenary reasons, & had no bearing on their belief in islam), then have an arrangement w/ a country like, say, Kuwait or Jordan, and settle them there. That’s if Iraq or Afghanistan became too hot to hold them
There is no reason to bring them to the US, or any Western country. Reserve that for non-muslims who worked w/ us, be it Yazidis, Christians or other non-muslim communities
libertyORdeath says
The number of true US allies and contractors that get these visas is small.
Calling yourself an American contractor in Afghanistan is just like calling yourself a Christian in Iraq or Syria.
It’s all subterfuge, and our government LOVES it!
OLD GUY says
Stop migration invasion of muslim/islamic followers, Close Mosque and arrest and deport illegal migrants. American tax payers have enough to pay for. Foreign aid being a major part of our tax burden. We send billions to foreign countries and don’t have the money to take care of our own people. THATS WRONG!
libertyORdeath says
Yet another example showing that the democrats DON’T actually hate guns. They’ll import a million foreigners and give them an ID and the right to buy a gun no problem.
Hell, Obama sent THOUSANDS of “weapons of war” to foreign drug cartels.
What they really HATE is you having a gun to defend yourself from these former stick-wielding animals. The more AK-carrying foreigners, the better.
somehistory says
Several questions I would be asking: where did his father-in-law get the funds to buy a house this afghan terrorist could sell for nearly 200 thousand? How long was the homeowner here? Is he also mozlum?
The ‘juvenile’ was the younger brother of the afghan’s wife. How many family members were in on the plot?
Since the goon was making arrangements for the entire family….except himself and the younger guy…to leave for Kabul, they must all be mozlums, but did they also come over two years ago? If so, from where did the funds come to buy the things they were selling to fund the trip home and the terror?
One report indicated that D.C. was going to be the place for the attack. If so, what site/target there? On election day, where would the most people be gathered in D.C.?
The government left out a lot of information in their ‘report.’
