President Donald Trump announced the apprehension of Mohammad Sharifullah, a key figure involved in the 2021 Kabul airport bombing that resulted in the deaths of 13 US service members and over 170 Afghan civilians. Sharifullah, allegedly connected to the planning of the attack during the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, is being transported to the US to face terrorism-related charges. Trump, in his address to Congress, praised Pakistan for their role in capturing Sharifullah based on CIA intelligence. The CIA Director, John Ratcliffe, highlighted this achievement in a call with Pakistani intelligence officials early in his tenure. FBI Director Kash Patel expressed the significance of Sharifullah’s extradition, signaling a step towards justice for the victims and their families. Court documents reveal Sharifullah’s involvement with ISIS-K, including scouting routes for attacks and providing support for multiple lethal operations. Identified as “Jafar,” he was released from prison shortly before the Abbey Gate bombing and was recruited by ISIS members to assist in the attack. The indictment further alleges his participation in previous attacks, such as surveilling embassy guards in Kabul and providing weapons training for a nightclub assault in Moscow. This unfolding story underscores the ongoing efforts to hold accountable those responsible for acts of terrorism.
