Washington: US President Donald Trump thanked Pakistan for the arrest of a major terrorist involved in the bombing at 2021 Kabul Airport, a deadly attack that claimed the lives of 13 US service members and about 170 Afghan nationals.
Addressing a joint Congress meeting, Trump announced: “Three and a half years ago, [Daesh] The Abbey Gate bomb blast killed 13 US service members and countless others. Tonight, I am glad to announce that we have just arrested the top terrorists responsible for the atrocities. And they are still going here to face a sharp sword of American justice.
After disclosing the arrest, Trump took a moment to thank the Pakistani government for his cooperation in the operation.
“I want to thank the Pakistani government for helping arrest this monster in particular,” Trump said. “It was a very important day for 13 families that I was well aware of, whose children were killed in this unfortunate day.”
The bombing of the Abbi Gate took place during the chaos from Afghanistan in August 2021, which Trump once again criticized as a failure of the Biden administration.
Trump remarked, “It is not as if he was retreating, but this was the way he had withdrawn.” “Perhaps the most shameful moment in the history of our country.”
It is mentioned that in a significant development in the fight against terrorism, Pakistan’s intelligence agencies recently occupied a senior Daesh commander, Muhammad Sharifullah, also known as Jafar, during a special operation.
Sharifullah, who was involved in a deadly attack on Kabul Airport in August 2021, in which 13 US soldiers and 170 Afghan civilians were killed, was arrested near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. His arrest is considered a major blow to Dash, which indicates an important step in counter -terrorism efforts, especially in the context of the withdrawal of US chaos from Afghanistan.
The arrest was made after a US intelligence lead, and Sharifullah, a key member of Daesh, was arrested near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. He was identified as a mastermind behind the Kabul airport attack, which took place during chaos from Afghanistan.
The United States is recognized as a target of a high value, identified as the mastermind behind the Kabul attack, which is one of the deadliest moments of the US withdrawal. His arrest has been described as an important moment in the ongoing counter -terrorism efforts between Pakistan and the United States.
In an important policy change, the Trump administration recently approved 7 397 million for the restoration of Pakistan’s F -16 fighter jet, which was frozen before foreign aid. According to a Reuters report, the funds will be strictly allocated for counter -terrorism operations, which contains a US surveillance program to prevent use against India.
Despite stopping an executive order overseas, the United States has exempted about $ 5.3 billion in security related to security, one of Pakistan’s 243 exemptions.
