Afghan National Arrested for Bomb Threat in Texas

An Afghan national, Mohammad Dawood Alokozay, was arrested by Homeland Security for allegedly posting on social media about “building a bomb” and threatening to blow up a Fort Worth building. His arrest on state terror charges occurred on Tuesday, just a day before another Afghan national shot two National Guard members in Washington D.C., resulting in the death of one. Alokozay is being held in Tarrant County, Texas, with Immigration and Customs Enforcement placing a retainer on him. Details regarding his attorney were not immediately available.
