Relative of Afghan accused in US election terror plot nabbed in France for similar scheme
|
[NYPOST] A family member of an Afghan arrested in Oklahoma last week for allegedly plotting an Election Day terror attack reportedly has been apprehended in France on suspicion of plotting his own strike in support of ISIS.
Authorities indicted a 22-year-old Afghan man Saturday on charges of ''foment[ing]'' a ''plan for violent action'' at a soccer match or shopping center, according to the Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor's Office in Paris.
France 24 reported Sunday that the suspect, who has not been publicly named, is the younger brother of Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, who was charged Oct. 8 with conspiring to commit a mass shooting in Oklahoma City.
American authorities investigating Tawhedi's case tipped off French terrorism investigators about the plot after discovering communications between the two relatives on Telegram, according to the report.
It's unclear to what extent the potential attacks would have been coordinated.
Nasir Tawhedi, 27, wrangled his teenage brother-in-law into the Oklahoma plot, in which both he and the unnamed minor were planning to die as ''martyrs,'' according to court documents. The unnamed co-conspirator was a virtual student at Southmoore High School in Moore, south of Oklahoma City.
