Afghan Man Accused of Election Day Terror Plot to Remain in Custody

Judge rules Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, linked to ISIS, must stay detained amid allegations of planned attacks in the US and France.

Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, an Afghan national, is accused of planning an Election Day attack in Oklahoma City with his brother-in-law.
Tawhedi allegedly sought to acquire AK-47 rifles and ammunition to target large crowds during the upcoming US elections.
The FBI linked Tawhedi to an ISIS contact and claims he communicated with the group via Telegram, pledging allegiance to them.
Authorities in France arrested Tawhedi's relatives for a separate alleged terror plot, highlighting international coordination to prevent attacks.
Tawhedi entered the US on a special immigrant visa in 2021 and had his parole status revoked, making his stay in the US unlawful.
