FBI says ISIS was behind foiled mass shooting plot on Election Day
Fox News
Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, 27, was connected with an ISIS contact he knew as "Malik" while planning a foiled terror plot.
Tawhedi had previously worked as a security guard for the CIA in Afghanistan, and Fox News reported that he did not undergo vetting by the State Department for special immigrant status (SIV).

The FBI says it tracked Tawhedi donating to an ISIS-connected charity and viewing ISIS propaganda online. A family member of Tawhedi was also arrested in Haute-Garonne, France, this week for planning a separate attack, according to the French Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor’s Office.
