| [ToloNews] Mohammad Sharifullah, … a.k.a. Mohammad Sharif, alias “Jafar” of ISIS-Khorasan, he was identified by the CIA as the mastermind of the suicide kaboom at Kabul International Airport‘s Abbey Gate during the fatally disorganized Biden pull-out, for which a number of American generals should be thoroughly ashamed. He had previously provided weapons training for two of the four jihadis who committed the March 22, 2024 Crocus City Hall concert massacre that killed 144, maimed 550, and caused $150 million in damage, suggesting he is not at all a nice man. According to the CIA, he headed the ISIS-K group operating in both Afghanistan and Pakistan, and was captured by Pakistan, based in CIA information, somewhere in the border region... an Afghan national who was arrested in connection with the 2021 bombing at the entrance to Kabul airport, has been sentenced to 20 years in prison by a US court.The US Department of Justice says Sharifullah was accused and convicted of providing intelligence support, relaying messages and transporting weapons for ISIS-K. The US Justice Department said in a statement: “ISIS-K leadership tasked Sharifullah with surveilling a road to the Hamid Karzai International Airport to ensure it was clear of Taliban checkpoints. At about 2:00 pm, Sharifullah travelled his assigned route and communicated to ISIS-K leadership that the route was clear.” According to reports, prosecutors sought to link Sharifullah, who was arrested in Pakistan in 2025 and transferred to the United States, to the attack at Kabul airport. However, the jury was unable to reach an agreement on the extent of his direct role in the bombing. Ultimately, he was convicted of providing material and intelligence support to ISIS-K. Aziz Maarij, a political analyst, said: “First, it has ultimately not been established why the explosion occurred. It appears more likely that the United States may have organized the explosion to disperse the crowds and secure its evacuation operation. Pakistan then arrested someone named Sharif. The incident itself first needs to be investigated before we address those responsible for it.” The ISIS attack at Kabul International Airport on August 26, 2021, killed 13 US service members and nearly 160 Afghan civilians. The attack occurred during the evacuation of troops and civilians from Afghanistan as the former republic collapsed.
