State leaders spoke out Tuesday after an Afghanistan citizen living in Oklahoma City was charged with conspiring to commit an Election Day terrorist attack on behalf of the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham.

Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, 27, was arrested by the FBI after purchasing two AK-47 assault rifles, 10 magazines and 500 rounds of ammunition from a confidential source of the agency in rural Oklahoma. His co-conspirator was a juvenile, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.

The man allegedly planned to attack a place where a large crowd would be gathered on U.S. soil on Election Day, according to messages from Tawhedi obtained by the FBI.

He was charged with conspiring and attempting to provide material support to ISIS, which carries a maximum prison sentence of 20 years, and receiving a firearm to be used to commit a felony or a federal crime of terrorism, which carries a maximum prison sentence of 15 years.

“I want to extend my deepest gratitude to our investigators and law enforcement officers for successfully uncovering and stopping this terrorist plot before innocent lives were put in danger. This is a powerful example of how the information-sharing measures we implemented between local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies are making a real difference,” Gov. Kevin Stitt said in a statement. “Those who seek to harm our nation, threaten our freedoms, and disrupt our way of life will be held accountable and face the full force of the law.”
