Islamic State – Khorasan Province

Obviously they are for the most part being prosecuted.

So it's, what we see is, and you can see it in the defense, like when you're attacking president Biden in a certain light, you're eventually supporting ISIS-K, you're supporting the Taliban, and you kind of see a lot of alignment where they actually are supporting them in some instances where they're like, oh, I agree with that so much.

And you see this kind of shift where that's okay.

And I don't see a lot of people speaking out against W, obviously around 9-11.

He should never see the light of day.

Afghan man named Mohammed Sharifullah, anyone with the name Mohammed should get an extra 20 years, was sentenced to 20 years in prison in Virginia for September 16, 2026 for supporting ISIS-K in a case tied to the deadly 2021 Abigay bombing.

Yeah.

He conspired to provide materials to support a foreign terrorist organization.

Department of Homeland Security has confirmed in writing that the government official who signed the letters was Morgan E. Killington, according to State Department emails, Killington is not a real person.

The Afghan evacuees charged with shooting two West Virginia National Guardsmen and the Afghan evacuee charged with funding ISIS-K received those letters of recommendation.

Clearly this is a sign of failed vetting.

Is the FBI performing ongoing reviews to ensure that known or suspected terrorists didn't slip into our country or otherwise should have been barred from entry? What has the FBI found up to date?

His name is Mohammed Sharafullah.

He was found guilty in April of aiding the Islamic State Khorasan, or ISIS-K, the group that claimed responsibility for the bombing.

And that killed 13 American troops, more than 150 Afghans.

Jurors could not decide whether he should be held directly responsible for the airport attack.

He's a fucking foreign enemy combatant.

He doesn't deserve any due process.

The jury unanimously agreed he was a member of ISIS-K and they convicted of conspiracy to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization, but they split on whether there was enough evidence to blame him directly for the Abbey Gate attack.

Lawyers, plural, argued he was not responsible for the attack.

Yet less than a day after the attack, crowds on Friday sought once again to reach the airport, their desperation to flee the Taliban blending with grief at the enormous scale of the violence.

Suicide bomber claimed by ISIS-K, the Afghan branch of ISIS blamed for the deaths of hundreds of Afghan civilians, most recently the suicide bombing in May of a school that left at least 90 dead, the majority schoolgirls.

According to The New York Times, the revised estimates made Thursday's attack one of the deadliest in the nearly two decades since the US-led invasion.

President Biden hailed the sacrifice of the soldiers, 12 of whom were Marines, who lost their lives, and the 18 other American service members who were injured in the blasts, even as the military worked to carry out his decision to fully withdraw from Afghanistan.

General Kenneth F. McKenzie Jr., Commander of the United States Central Command, called the continued threat from ISIS extremely real.

It is their desire to continue those attacks, and we expect those attacks to continue, and we're doing everything we can to be prepared for those attacks.

I'm not here to go into the geopolitical real politic of how ISIS-K is using this moment to reestablish itself at the forefront of the global jihadist movement, nor will I pile more criticism onto President Biden.

In my mind, what occurred is a terrible reminder of precisely why we should not be in Afghanistan anymore, full stop.

Um, I think, yeah.

Wait, yeah, so August 27th, there was a, a sort of a car bomb by ISIS Khorasan Province, which, um, during the evacuation outside of Hamid Karzai Airport, where 170 Afghans were killed, uh, along with 11 US Marines, a US soldier, and a corpsman.

Um, and then two days later, a vehicle was flagged as suspicious, and so this led to a drone strike by the US military, killed, uh, seven children and ten civilians in total, I think is, is what you've...

I think I was reading an, funnily enough, I was reading an essay that you were writing about Mike Davis's, uh, book on the car bomb, which is why I've got this in front of me.
