Oklahoma City, OK - Congressman Tom Cole (OK-04) released the following statement in response to the arrest of a man living in Oklahoma City who was allegedly planning an Election Day terrorist attack:

"Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi's plot to conduct a terrorist attack in Oklahoma on Election Day is truly chilling. I would like to thank the FBI and our local Oklahoma law enforcement for their quick action and arrest, as if it were not for their commitment to protecting Americans, we could have experienced a deadly attack," said Congressman Cole.

"As Americans, we must stick together, especially during times like these when we face threats to our safety, security, and freedom," said Congressman Cole.
