Afghan Relatives Arrested in US and France Over Alleged ISIS Terror Plots

Authorities in both countries have charged the men with planning separate attacks inspired by ISIS, raising questions about vetting processes for Afghan evacuees.

Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, 27, was arrested in Oklahoma for allegedly planning a mass shooting on US Election Day.
His 22-year-old relative was detained in France, accused of plotting attacks on a soccer stadium or shopping center.
Both men are believed to have been inspired by ISIS, though it's unclear if their plans were coordinated.
Tawhedi, who entered the US on a Special Immigrant Visa, reportedly sold family assets to fund the attack and relocate his family to Afghanistan.
The arrests have sparked concerns over the vetting process for Afghan evacuees, with US lawmakers calling for greater transparency.
