Quick Summary:

The complaint alleges that while liquidating their family's assets prior to the attack, Tawhedi and his co-conspirator, who is a juvenile, advertised the sale of the family's personal property on Facebook.

In his seized communications, Tawhedi allegedly indicated that his attack was planned for Election Day, and in a post-arrest interview, Tawhedi allegedly confirmed the attack was planned for Election Day targeting large gatherings of people, during which he and the juvenile were expected to die as martyrs.

According to the criminal complaint, as part of the investigation into Tawhedi, the FBI searched Tawhedi's phone and obtained communications between Tawhedi and a person who facilitated recruitment, training, and indoctrination of persons who expressed interest in terrorist activity and who Tawhedi understood to be affiliated with ISIS.
