The United States has charged Mohammad Sharifullah, alias “Jafar,” a member of the Islamic State of Iraq and ash-Sham-Khorasan Province (ISIS-K), with providing and conspiring to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization resulting in death.

Mohammad Sharifullah, accused of involvement in the deadly Afghanistan attack, was taken into custody over the weekend.

An Islamic State operative Mohammad Sharifullah, who allegedly helped carry out the 2021 suicide bombing outside Kabul airport during the chaotic US military withdrawal from Afghanistan appeared in a Virginia court Wednesday.

The attack triggered widespread congressional criticism and undermined public confidence in the Biden administration.

FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed that the suspect accused of orchestrating the 2021 Kabul airport bombing arrived in the U.S. on Tuesday to face charges for developing a plot that killed 13 American service members and at least 170 Afghan civilians.

U.S. authorities announced charges Wednesday against Mohammad Sharifullah, the man they said acted as a scout ahead of the suicide bombing that killed 13 American troops during the 2021 troop withdrawal in Afghanistan.
