Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) I said Sharifler acknowledged his role in the suicide bombing at Afghanistan Airport in August 2021, which occurred when Biden’s troops withdrew from the country. Sharihula is said to have conducted pre-monitor monitoring to tell his accomplices when and where the bombers would be sent. The explosion killed 13 US military members and about 170 Afghans.
According to the DOJ, Sharifler also told federal agents he helped prepare for the attacks of Islamic terrorists for the Canadian Embassy and Russia’s Moscow in 2016.
Despite alleged roles in as many as 335 deaths, the US did not arrest CIA director John Ratcliffe, saying that Trump “makes it a priority” against the Kabul bombing “priority… to find people.” I said it on Wednesday. Ratcliffe confirmed that Sharihula will arrive in the US on Tuesday night to face charges. (Related: The report reveals why the State Department thought it was okay to pay Taliban taxpayers’ money.)
It is precisely unknown that the US has identified Sharihula as the person responsible for the attack. The CIA and DOJ did not immediately respond to requests for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The White House previously told DCNF that Trump “prioritized finding this individual on the first day.”
Sharihula faces the possibility of death penalty if convicted of his terrorist crime. USA Today reported. His detention hearing is set for Monday in a Virginia courthouse.
