CHALLENGE: Consider some of the questions we haven't gotten answers to yet:

• How did Tawhedi get here? - Did he fill out the whole SIV application, or did he just walk across the southern border?
• How was Tawhedi vetted?
• Who wrote him a recommendation letter, who vouched for him? - What job did he do for the U.S. in Afghanistan - was he a translator or interpreter - or something else?
• The visa Tawhedi came under permitted him to bring his wife and kids. Why are his in-laws and their children here?
• Is anyone else in the family going to be charged as accessories to the mass murder plot?
• Where did Tawhedi work in Oklahoma City?
• Why was the co-conspirator brother-in-law attending high school virtually? - Why does South Moore High School offer virtual school?
• How did he and his in-laws afford to buy two houses after only coming 3 years ago?
• How did they afford to own electronics/laptops etc. after having been here a short time.
• How old is Tawhedi's co-conspirator brother-in-law? Why won't media outlets provide his name?
• If his family was able to come to the U.S. under his visa and he is convicted of terrorism, do they get to stay in the U.S.? - especially considering he wanted them to go back to Afghanistan to live under "pure Islam"?
