When CNN reported on President Donald Trump's speech before Congress, CNN host and national security analyst Jim Schweitt said the arrest of one of the terrorists involved in the 2021 bombing of Kabul airport was “a “serious arrest” of a man released two weeks before the Monastery attack. And it is worth noting because it shows the consequences of the chaos of the withdrawal.
Scuitto said, “[O]The NE, the most new moment, was the announcement of a serious arrest acting on the intelligence provided by the CIA, arresting a man named Mohammadsharifullah, who is said to be the mastermind. 200 Afghans gathered there at the gate when the US troops left. Trump's CIA director, John Ratcliffe, says he raised the issue at his Pakistani counterpart in the first few days of his job. And now the suspect is on his way to the United States, arriving in the United States tomorrow morning, where he is accused of providing and conspiring to provide material support to terrorists. ”
He added: “It should be noted that he was released from Afghan prison. This is important, Erin – the monastery attack. And it is worth noting because it shows the consequences of the chaos of its withdrawal, right? The government was falling apart, so hundreds of prisoners had been released in the meantime. This is one of them. And he contributed to that attack and killed so many people that day, including 13 US military personnel.”
