Trump reveals top terrorist behind Abbey Gate attack apprehended, facing 'swift sword of American justice'

President Donald Trump revealed that the top terrorist suspect behind the 2021 Abbey Gate attack in Afghanistan that killed 13 U.S. service members has been apprehended. 

"Tonight, I am pleased to announce that we have just apprehended the top terrorist responsible for that atrocity," Trump revealed during his speech before a joint Congress. "And he is right now on his way here to face the swift sword of American justice." 

The suspect was identified as Muhammed Sharifullah, Fox News confirmed. 

"And I want to thank, especially, the government of Pakistan for helping arrest this monster," he said. "This was a very momentous day for those 13 families, who I actually got to know very well." 

The Biden administration’s chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan led to the deaths of 13 U.S. service members — eleven Marines, one Navy corpsman and one sailor — defending the Kabul airport, while hundreds of Americans and tens of thousands of Afghan allies were left in the country under Taliban rule. At least 170 Afghan civilians were injured in the attack, according to the U.S. military's investigation of it.
