From the New York Post: 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 Tuesday.
“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.

FBI Director Kash Patel later confirmed in a statement posted on X:
BREAKING: As President Trump just announced, I can report that tonight the FBI, DOJ, and CIA have extradited one of the terrorists responsible for the murder of the 13 American soldiers at Abbey Gate during the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal.
One step closer to justice for these American heroes and their families.
Thank you to our incredible partners and brave FBI personnel who made this happen. You represented your country brilliantly.

Democrats refused to either stand or applaud when Trump made the announcement.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt voiced her disgust, writing, “President Trump just announced the terrorist mastermind behind the Abbey Gate Bombing, which killed 13 US Service Members, has been apprehended and will soon come to America to face justice. Democrats did not stand or clap. Despicable people.”
