New details after Election Day terror plot foiled
SUMMARY: New details have emerged regarding a foiled election day terror plot involving an Afghan man living in Oklahoma and a minor virtual student. Court documents reveal the Afghan national, who is on a special immigrant visa, was allegedly motivated by the ease of purchasing firearms in the state. Oklahoma’s Attorney General, Get Your Drummond, has blamed the Biden administration’s refugee resettlement program for the man’s presence, though program officials state there is no record of him. The FBI has described the plot as ISIS-inspired, highlighting the concerning access to weapons and online searches related to gun laws and purchases.
