The arrest of the terrorist of Daesh-K Mohammad Sharifullah has highlighted the continuous importance of Pakistan American anti-terrorism cooperation, according to a statement from the spokesman for the United States Department of State, Tammy Bruce.
Sharifullah, also known as Jafar, was arrested by the Pakistani authorities and then extradited to the United States based on intelligence provided by the Federal Research Office.
At a press conference on Thursday, Bruce expressed his appreciation for the role of Pakistan in obtaining Sharifullah’s capture.
“We extend our gratitude to the Pakistan government for its association to take Mohammad Sharifullah to justice,” he said, emphasizing that the arrest underlines the vital nature of continuous collaboration in the fight against terrorism.
It is believed that Sharifullah has played an important role in the suicide bombing of 2021 at Kabul’s Abbey Gate during the withdrawal of the American army of Afghanistan, an attack that killed more than 170 Afghan and 13 US military.
The United States Department of Justice revealed that Sharifullah had confessed to exploring the airport route before the bomb was shot, in the middle of a crowd that tried to flee Kabul after the acquisition of the Taliban.

The arrest also illustrated the role of critical intelligence exchanged between the Trump administration and Pakistani officials, which helped lead to Sharifullah’s confession.
The White House spokeswoman, Karoline Leavitt, praised the success of the operation, which she described as a testimony of the Pakistan US Force of US.
President Donald Trump praised the capture of Sharifullah in a speech before Congress, qualifying him as “the main terrorist responsible for that atrocity” and expressing thanks to Pakistan for his role.
In response, Pakistan’s prime minister, Shehbaz Sharif recognized recognition and reiterated Pakistan’s commitment to greater cooperation with the United States in anti -terrorist efforts.
Sharifullah has been accused of providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization that results in death. He has appeared in court in Alexandria, although he has not presented a plea. His next appearance in court is scheduled for Monday.
This joint effort highlights the continuous importance of the association between the United States and Pakistan to address terrorism and maintain regional stability.
