In his recent address to Congress, President Donald Trump announced the capture of Mohammad Sharifullah, a senior Isis commander alleged to have orchestrated the 2021 Kabul airport bombing. This attack resulted in the deaths of 13 U.S. service members and approximately 170 Afghan civilians during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. President Trump specifically praised Pakistan for its crucial assistance in apprehending Sharifullah, stating, "I especially want to thank the Government of Pakistan for helping to arrest this monster."
The operation was a collaborative effort between Pakistani authorities and U.S. intelligence agencies, including the CIA, FBI, and DOJ. Acting on intelligence provided by the CIA, Pakistani forces detained Sharifullah, leading to his extradition to the United States, where he is now in custody awaiting justice.
This successful operation marks a significant moment in U.S.-Pakistan relations, highlighting effective cooperation in counterterrorism efforts. It also brings a measure of solace to the families affected by the tragic 2021 bombing, as the alleged perpetrator is set to face the American justice system.
President Trump's acknowledgment of Pakistan's role in this operation underscores the importance of international collaboration in combating terrorism and ensuring global security.
