Court documents in the U.S. reveal that a 27-year-old Afghan citizen residing in Oklahoma, named Nasir Ahmad Tawhidi, has been charged with planning a terrorist attack on the U.S. presidential election day on November 5 (Aban 15) this year, purportedly in the name of ISIS. According to a report on Tuesday by NBC, Tawhidi allegedly purchased a firearm from an individual who was a source for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). It has also been reported that a teenager was his accomplice. The FBI has repeatedly managed to arrest individuals before they could carry out potential terrorist attacks using sources and undercover agents. The FBI Director stated, 'This suspect, motivated by ISIS, had apparently conspired to carry out a violent attack here on our soil on election day.' Christopher Wray added, 'I am proud of the men and women of the FBI who uncovered and stopped this plot before anyone was harmed.' He further emphasized that terrorism remains the FBI's number one priority and that officials will utilize every resource to protect the American people. Trump was informed about the latest information related to the alleged attempts by the Islamic Republic to assassinate him. A Pakistani individual accused of trying to hire a 'contract killer' on behalf of the Islamic Republic is being sent to trial.
