FROM DAILY MAIL: The head of the CIA has sensationally revealed the suspected shooter of two National Guard troops in Washington, DC previously worked with the agency in Afghanistan.
Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, was identified as the alleged gunman taken into custody after the shoot-out yards from the White House on Wednesday, leaving two soldiers in critical condition.
Late on Wednesday night, John Ratcliffe, the CIA director, revealed Lakanwal had direct links to the agency from his work alongside US Special Forces in Afghanistan before the disastrous military withdrawal.
Ratcliffe spoke to Fox News, revealing that Lakanwal’s involvement was “as a member of a partner force in Kandahar, which ended shortly following the chaotic evacuation.”
He slammed the Biden administration’s “disastrous” actions in allowing unvetted foreigners into the US on temporary visas.
“The Biden administration justified bringing the alleged shooter to the United States in September 2021 due to his prior work with the US government, including the CIA,” Ratcliffe said. “The individual – and so many others – should have never been allowed to come here.
“Our citizens and service members deserve far better than to endure the ongoing fallout from the Biden administration’s catastrophic failures.”
