Accused Hamas Conspirator Found Living in Oklahoma Sparks Security Concerns

Federal authorities have arrested Mahmoud Amin al Muhtadi, an alleged Hamas conspirator linked to the October 7 attacks in Israel. According to the FBI, Muhtadi entered the U.S. on a visa from Egypt in 2024 and settled in Oklahoma, where he allegedly continued coordinating with militant groups.

Photos and audio recordings included in the criminal complaint show Muhtadi holding military-grade weapons and discussing tactical plans. The case has reignited debates over immigration vetting and national security, with DHS officials facing scrutiny over how the suspect bypassed detection.
