Agents arrested Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, 27, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, after an investigation that discovered the man had been stockpiling automatic weapons and had been in the process of liquidating his family’s assets. After his arrest he confessed to investigators that he was planning an attack that would hit large crowds.

Tawhedi disclosed he has a juvenile co-conspirator and that they both expected to die as Islamic martyrs. He had bought a one-way ticket for his wife and child to travel back to Afghanistan. Tawhedi, who entered the United States in 2021 on a special immigrant visa, was charged with conspiring and attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State group.

“Terrorism is still the FBI’s number one priority, and we will use every resource to protect the American people,” FBI Director Christopher Wray said in a statement.
