President Trump announced that the US has apprehended the “top terrorist” responsible for the deadly bombing outside the Kabul airport during the Biden administration’s chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021.
“Three and a half years ago, ISIS terrorists killed 13 American service members and countless others in the Abbey Gate bombing,” Trump said during his speech to a joint session of Congress.
“Tonight, I am pleased to announce that we have just apprehended the top terrorist responsible for that atrocity,” the president revealed. “And he is right now on his way here to face the swift sword of American justice.”
Trump thanked the government of Pakistan for assisting in apprehending the “monster” and added that it was “a very momentous day” for Gold Star families affected by the attack.
