00:00An Afghan national living in the United States has been arrested for allegedly planning a
00:22terrorist attack on the election day.
00:26Here's what we know about the case involving 27-year-old Naseer Ahmed Tauheedi.
00:37Naseer Ahmed, who arrived in the US just over three years ago, is said to have worked as
00:43a guard for the Central Intelligence Agency in Afghanistan.
00:48His entry into the US was facilitated through a humanitarian parole program, followed by
00:54an application for a special immigrant visa, which had nearly completed its approval process.
01:02Sources report that Naseer purchased two AK-47 rifles, along with magazines and ammunition
01:11from an undercover FBI agent posing as a seller.
01:17He allegedly expressed intentions to use these weapons to target large gatherings during
01:24the upcoming election day.
01:30Naseer Ahmed was arrested on October 7, alongside unnamed co-conspirators.
01:36Reports indicate he spoke to FBI informants about his plan, revealing a disturbing willingness
01:44to die in the attack independently.
01:53The implications of Naseer's background raise critical questions about security and vetting
02:00processes for individuals entering the United States under humanitarian grounds.
02:07While it's confirmed that Naseer worked as a guard at a CIA facility, the timeline of
02:14his radicalization, whether it occurred during his time within the agency or after his relocation
02:21to the US, is still under investigation.
02:30As this case unfolds, the focus will likely shift to how such individuals are screened
02:37and monitored upon entering the country.
02:40Authorities continue to investigate potential threats related to the upcoming elections.
