This is huge.

It’s a major step towards justice for the families who lost loved ones due to Joe Biden’s disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal.

Axios reported:

Pakistan recently acted on CIA intelligence and detained a senior ISIS commander who the U.S. claims plotted the deadly Abbey Gate bombing during the U.S. evacuation from Afghanistan in 2021, according to two U.S. officials familiar with the issue. President Trump revealed the arrest in his address to Congress on Tuesday night.

Why it matters: Mohammad Sharifullah, one of the leaders of an ISIS branch in Afghanistan and Pakistan, is believed to have devised and coordinated the attack that killed 13 U.S. service members and about 170 Afghan citizens, one official said.

Driving the news: “I am pleased to announce that we have just apprehended the top terrorist responsible for that atrocity,” Trump said in his address.

• Trump thanked the Pakistani government for helping to arrest Sharifullah, who he said was currently being brought to the U.S.

One U.S. official with direct knowledge said Sharifullah, who is also known as “Jafar,” is in the process of being extradited to the U.S. from Pakistan after being detained by the Pakistani Intelligence Service.

• He is expected to arrive in the U.S. on Wednesday and an indictment against him is expected to be unsealed, the U.S. official said.
• A second U.S. official claimed Sharifullah is “the mastermind” behind the attack that took place outside Kabul’s international airport on Aug. 26, 2021, and that he planned and oversaw the execution of the bombing.
• “Because of his role, he has been a high value target of the U.S. intelligence community for several years,” the official said.

CBS News has more details:

U.S. officials told CBS News that Mohammad Sharifullah is being extradited to the U.S. in connection with the August 2021 Abbey Gate suicide bombing at the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, which killed 13 American service members and about 170 Afghans during the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan.

A senior Defense Department official said Sharifullah was captured roughly 10 days ago in a joint raid between Pakistani intelligence and the Central Intelligence Agency.

U.S. officials said Sharifullah was one of two masterminds involved in the planning of the bombing. He is described as a regional Islamic State Khorasan, or ISIS-K, commander.

President Trump announced the arrest at Tuesday’s joint address to Congress and thanked the Pakistani government.

The Wall Street Journal added:

President Trump revealed Tuesday in his speech to Congress that the U.S. had taken custody of an Afghan involved in planning the deadly 2021 suicide attack at the Kabul airport that Trump has called “the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country.”

A senior member of the Islamic State branch based in Afghanistan was turned over to U.S. authorities by Pakistan and was being brought to the U.S. for prosecution, Trump said. U.S. officials identified him as Muhammad Sharifullah.
