MILLER: "Well, so far as they‘ve been going through his computers and social media, what they have not found is something that points them at a clear motive that could develop any day now, as they get more access to more electronics and then get communications from different internet providers. What‘s interesting, boris, is that process of the vetting when I was at the joint terrorism task force on the NYPD side, when all of this was going on in 2021, we knew there were problems with the vetting incomplete ntation from Afghanistan, documents that weren‘t complete dates of birth that were hard to track. Information from multiple U.S. agencies that were across multiple different databases, not a centralized one where it was hard with all the different names to figure out who was who and what their exact background was. But in this case, you have an individual who had worked for the U.S. in a CIA supported special military team, and the Afghan military special forces. This was a team operating in kandahar, where rahmanullah, lakanwal had been one of the soldiers that was used to target members. According to my sources of the Taliban, of al qaeda in kandahar, the haqqani network a number of the places there. So we had an awful lot of information about him. Vetting was not going to be the problem. This is the question that emerges, boris, which is right now out of 80,000 immigrants, we have exactly two cases that seem to relate directly to terrorist plots. One is this one, the one in front of us, but the other involves a man in Oklahoma city named tawhidi, now, nasir tawhedi had also worked for the U.S. in Afghanistan as a security officer at the CIA, based in khost, which is the same hometown as rahmanullah lackawanna. Lackawanna? So what you‘re seeing is two men who we had a special relationship with who served the United States, who risked their lives and their families, both of whom passed the vetting process because we had a lot of information on them. As the two that emerged in these plots in the Oklahoma city plot. Naseer was supposed to be gathering 500 rounds of ammunition, two AK-47, according to a federal complaint, to do an attack on Election Day. It‘s raising this question in the background, less about the vetting and more about the analytic question what happened to these two men who fought for America in Afghanistan, fought to get to America with their families, and then in a very short number of years, turned against the country that they had called their new home."
