Washington DC [US], March 6 (ANI): The White House said that the US has detained Mohammad Sharifullah and that he will face the "swift sword of American justice". As per CNN, Sharifullah was allegedly involved in the bombing at Kabul Airport's Abbey Gate in Afghanistan, which resulted in the death of 13 US service members and at least 170 Afghan civilians in August 2021.
In her remarks delivered during the press briefing, WH Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Wednesday, "Finally, after nearly four years, President Trump delivered justice for the families of the 13 American heroes who were killed at Abbey Gate...which was one of the worst humiliations in the history of our country. President Trump announced that we have detained Mohammad Sharifullah, the monster who was responsible for that horrific attack, and he was delivered to Dulles Airfield earlier this morning."
Sharing the details of the process that led to his detention, Leavitt said, "On his first day in office, President Trump's national security team across the federal government prioritized intelligence gathering to locate this evil individual."
She added, "President Trump's team shared intelligence with regional countries like Pakistan, who helped identify this monster in the borderland area late last month. Mohammed confessed to his crimes related to Abbey Gate and other attacks in Russia and Iran as well, to the Pakistanis. US law enforcement officers travelled to Pakistan over the weekend where he again confessed his crimes to the FBI."
Leavitt said, "As President Trump said last night, this killer will now face the swift sword of American justice for these atrocities right here on United States soil. Joe Biden was responsible for this botched withdrawal, and he had three years to find this evil terrorist, and he didn't even try to get the job done. But President Trump campaigned on behalf of and grew very close to the Gold Star families, he promised them accountability."
As per CNN, Trump announced Tuesday (US local time) that the US had apprehended a "top terrorist" involved in the 2021 bombing at Kabul airport's Abbey Gate in Afghanistan where 13 US service members and at least 170 Afghan civilians were killed.
CNN reported that Mohammad Sharifullah, was allegedly involved in the planning of the bombing during the US withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021, was charged with providing and conspiring to provide material support for terrorism. (ANI)
