Kabul Airport Bombing Suspect Extradited to U.S. Amid Renewed Cooperation with Pakistan
Mohammad Sharifullah, a key suspect in the 2021 Kabul airport bombing that resulted in the deaths of 13 U.S. troops, has been extradited to the United States from Pakistan. His first court appearance follows his capture, with former President Trump announcing the arrest and expressing gratitude to Pakistan for its cooperation in detaining the alleged terrorist. Sharifullah has reportedly admitted to his role in the bombing and is now facing federal charges. The extradition marks a significant moment in U.S.-Pakistan relations, as experts note a resurgence in counterterrorism collaboration despite historically strained ties. Families of the fallen Marines are calling for justice and accountability as the legal proceedings begin.
