Dec. 2 (UPI) -- Afghan national Mohammad Dawood Alokozay has been charged with federal crimes after allegedly using social media to threaten to build a bomb to kill U.S. citizens.
Alokozay, 30, is a resident of Fort Worth, Texas, and is charged with transmitting a threatening communication in interstate commerce in the U.S. District Court for Northern Texas. He faces up to five years in prison if he is found guilty.
"This Afghan national came into America during the Biden administration and, as alleged, explicitly stated that he came here in order to kill American citizens," Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a news release on Tuesday.
"The public safety threat created by the Biden administration's vetting breakdown cannot be overstated," Bondi added.
