Afghan National Arrested for Plotting an Election Day Terrorist Attack

Note the phrasing "Tawhedi understood to be affiliated...".

Odds that this person was in fact FBI?  If not, sounds like they're the real terrorist instigator.

Regardless, it sounds like the FBI is on the job here.

Maybe but it sounds like it depends on who tells the story.

So it was a sting operation according to the Oklahoman, nothing wrong with that per se but it is a lot different than discovering a plot independently.  Not to mention if there is one there are others... but I do wonder why you scooted over then when where and how they arrived in the US? Don't you think that is semi-pertinent?

An Afghan national living in Oklahoma City was charged Tuesday with conspiring to conduct a terrorist attack on Election Day in the United States on behalf of ISIS.

Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, 27, was charged in Oklahoma City federal court.
He and his brother-in-law were arrested Monday after they purchased two AK-47 rifles and ammunition from an undercover FBI employee in a rural location in Oklahoma, the FBI reported in a court affidavit.
Tawhedi admitted after his arrest that he and his brother-in-law bought the guns to commit an attack on Election Day "targeting large gatherings of people," according to the affidavit. He said he and his brother-in law expected to die in the attack and be martyrs.

 
"Terrorism is still the FBI's number one priority, and we will use every resource to protect the American people," he said.
The brother-in-law was not named because the FBI reported he is a juvenile.
