Hasher Taheb, Attempt to Damage by Explosive, Georgia 2024

Grimy Times has learned that Hasher Taheb, 21, of Cumming, Georgia, has been arrested in connection with a plot to attack federal buildings, including the White House.

According to a statement from U.S. Attorney Byung J. ‘BJay’ Pak, Taheb has been charged with violating Title 18 U.S.C. 844(f)(1) – attempt to damage by means of an explosive any building owned, possessed, or leased by the United States or any department or agency thereof, or any institution or organization receiving federal financial assistance.

The investigation, led by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force, was initiated after receiving a tip from the community. U.S. Attorney Pak praised the community for coming forward, saying, ‘The JTTF initiated the case after receiving a tip from the community.’

Special Agent in Charge Chris Hacker of the FBI Atlanta Field Office credited the community for providing the tip that led to Taheb’s arrest. ‘It is important to point out that this investigation and arrest were the direct result of a tip from the community, another example of how important it is to contact law enforcement if you see or hear something suspicious,’ said Hacker.

Taheb is believed to have been acting on his own, according to the FBI. The investigation is continuing, with the FBI working closely with local law enforcement agencies, including the Forsyth County Sheriff Office and Gwinnett County Police Department.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Georgia is handling the case, with further information available by contacting the U.S. Attorney’s Public Affairs Office at USAGAN.PressEmails@usdoj.gov or (404) 581-6016.

Taheb’s arrest serves as a reminder of the importance of community vigilance and cooperation with law enforcement. As the investigation continues, it is clear that the community’s tip played a critical role in preventing a potential disaster.
