[KhaamaPress] An Afghan teen in the U.S. admitted to planning a terrorist attack on Election Day, prompting serious federal security investigations.
Is it some sort of rule that one can’t confess until age 18 and therefore legally adult? Because when he was arrested last October he was still 17… According to court documents, Haji-Zada and another Afghan citizen, Nasir Ahmad Toohidi…previously in our archives as Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi. The two are brothers-in-law, Tawhedi being married to Zada's sister, Maria Haji Zada. But she filed for divorce in January after their second child was born — I guess she doesn’t want to be shackled to a jailed jihadi. Oddly enough, Mr. Tawhedi’s younger brother was picked up a week later in France for exactly the same thing, because once arrested the authorities can access your devices, including your secret Telegram messages plotting parallel mayhem for Allah… 27, had planned a terrorist attack in Oklahoma. They had obtained two AK-47 rifles and 500 rounds of ammunition, intending to carry out the attack in support of ISIS during the November 2024 elections.Haji-Zada was arrested in October 2024 alongside Toohidi. Under a plea agreement, Toohidi, still in custody, faces charges of material support for ISIS and weapons-related offenses. If convicted, he could receive up to 20 years in prison for each charge. Su Bai, the head of the U.S. Department of Justice’s National Security Division, stated that the confession shows the U.S. commitment to countering terrorist threats and holding perpetrators accountable. The investigation was led by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force in Oklahoma, with support from federal and local agencies. This collaboration underscores the importance of joint efforts in tackling domestic terrorism. The arrest and confession highlight a concerning trend of radicalization within the U.S. by foreign nationals. Authorities are increasingly vigilant in preventing potential attacks, especially during high-profile events such as national elections. The Oklahoman has more here.
