In a significant development in the fight against terrorism, Pakistan’s intelligence agencies recently captured a main commander of Daesh, Mohammad Sharifullah, also known as Jafar, during a special operation.
Sharifullah, involved in the deadly attack of the Kabul airport in August 2021 that killed 13 American soldiers and around 170 Afghan civilians, was arrested near the border between Pakistan-Fanganistan. Its capture is considered a great blow to Daesh, marking a crucial step in the anti -terrorist efforts, particularly in the context of the American chaotic withdrawal of Afghanistan.
The arrest was carried out after an advantage of American intelligence, and Sharifullah, a key member of Daesh, was arrested near the border between Pakistan-Afghanistan. He was identified as the intellectual author behind the attack of Kabul airport, which took place during the American chaotic retreat of Afghanistan. Recognized as a high value objective in the United States, Sharifullah was identified as the intellectual author behind Kabul’s attack, one of the most fatal moments of the United States withdrawal. His arrest has been acclaimed as a fundamental moment in the ongoing anti -terrorism efforts between Pakistan and the United States.
In response to this success, the president of the United States, Donald Trump, expressed his gratitude to Pakistan, recognizing the country’s crucial role in anti -terrorism cooperation.
During a speech before Congress, Trump praised Pakistan for his efforts and stressed the importance of Sharifullah’s capture. The arrest is considered a critical achievement in the fight against Daesh and a testimony of the growing collaboration between the two nations to combat terrorism.
Speaking before a joint session of the Congress, Trump made the announcement, declaring: “Three and a half years ago, a [Daesh] Terrorist killed 13 members of the US and innumerable service others in the bombing of Abbey Gate. Tonight, I am pleased to announce that we have just stopped the main terrorist responsible for that atrocity. And now he is on his way to face the rapid sword of American justice. “
After revealing the arrest, Trump took a moment to thank the Pakistani government for their cooperation in the operation.
“I want to thank, especially, the Pakistani government for helping to arrest this monster,” Trump said. “This was a very transcendental day for the 13 families I met very well, whose children were killed on that fateful day.”
In turn, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, from Pakistan, reiterated regional peace and stability commitment and stability, emphasizing the long -standing association with the United States in the fight against terrorism.
In social networks, Sharif thanked Trump for recognizing the role of Pakistan in the global effort against terrorism, particularly in relation to Afghanistan. He highlighted the history of Pakistan’s anti -terrorism work, pointing out the sacrifices made by more than 80,000 soldiers and civilians to combat extremist forces.
Prime Minister Shehbaz also emphasized that leadership and Pakistan people remain firm in their determination to eliminate terrorism and take all possible measures to achieve this goal. He reiterated that Pakistan will continue to work closely with the United States to promote peace and stability in the region.
Abbey Gate’s bombardment occurred in August 2021 during the chaotic withdrawal of the United States of Afghanistan, which Trump once again criticized as a failure of the Biden administration.
“It’s not that they retired, but it was the way they retired,” Trump said. “Perhaps the most shameful moment in the history of our country.”
In a significant policy change, the Trump administration recently approved $ 397 million for the maintenance of the F-16 Combat Fleet of Pakistan, reversing a previous freezing of foreign aid.
The funds will be assigned strictly for anti -terrorist operations, with a program monitored in the United States to avoid use against India, according to a Reuters report.
Despite an executive order that stops funds abroad, the United States has granted approximately $ 5.3 billion in security -related exemptions, being the assignment of Pakistan one of 243
