Biden Admin Admits Afghan Terror Suspect Was Not Vetted for Election Day Plot

Oct 16, 2024, 03:34 PM

The Biden-Harris administration has admitted that Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, an Afghan national accused of plotting an Election Day terror attack, was not properly vetted before entering the United States. Despite previous claims that Tawhedi had undergone thorough vetting and was approved for a special immigrant visa (SIV), officials now acknowledge that he was never vetted or approved by the State Department. This revelation has raised significant concerns about the efficacy of the Afghan evacuee process and the broader implications for national security. The suspect had also worked for the CIA in security operations in the past. The FBI arrested Tawhedi, who had planned a massacre targeting large crowds.
