(CNN) — President Donald Trump announced Tuesday evening that the US was extraditing the “top terrorist” involved in the 2021 bombing at the Abbey Gate in Afghanistan where 13 US service members were killed.
“Tonight, I am pleased to announce that we have just apprehended the top terrorist responsible for that atrocity, and he is right now on his way here to face the swift sword of American justice,” Trump said in his joint address to Congress.
A White House official confirmed that Mohammad Sharifullah, who was allegedly involved in the planning of the deadly Abbey Gate bombing during the Afghanistan withdrawal in 2021, was being extradited to the US.
In his speech, Trump thanked Pakistan for “helping arrest this monster.”
“As President Trump just announced, I can report that tonight the FBI, DOJ, and CIA have extradited one of the terrorists responsible for the murder of the 13 American soldiers at Abbey Gate during the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal,” FBI Director Kash Patel posted on X shortly after Trump announced the arrest. “One step closer to justice for these American heroes and their families.”
