Rahmanullah Lakanwal
The alleged Afghan terrorist accused of executing one National Guard soldier and critically wounding another just blocks from the White House should never have been allowed into the US, the CIA director said Thursday.
Rahmanullah Lakanwal and his family were welcomed into the US four years ago after serving in a CIA-backed elite Afghan commando “Zero Unit” that was accused of torture and the brutal murder of civilians.
After his war-torn country fell to barbaric Taliban rule, the 29-year-old was given a $2,000-per-month apartment in the quiet town of Bellingham, Washington, neighbors told The Post — along with, reportedly, a contracting gig at Amazon.
“This individual — and so many others — should have never been allowed to come here,” CIA director John Ratcliffe said in response to the shooting, revealing that Lakanwal previously worked for a unit tied to the spy agency.
“Our citizens and servicemembers deserve far better than to endure the ongoing fallout from the Biden Administration’s catastrophic failures. God bless our brave troops.”
Following the attack, the Department of Homeland Security announced it would stop processing immigration requests for Afghan nationals pending a review of security protocols and that “all” Biden-era asylum cases would be scrutinized. President Trump also directed a sweeping review of green card holders from 19 countries of concern.
Lakanwal served in the elite NDS-03 counterterrorism unit in Afghanistan, one of at least five paramilitary “Zero Units” that worked with the CIA, according to the nonprofit group #AfghanEvac.
Lakanwal was vetted by the CIA and checked through the National Counterterrorism Center, a senior US official told CNN. “He was clean on all checks,” the official said.
Asked how an Afghan cleared to work with the CIA could commit such a heinous attack in the United States, Trump replied: “He went cuckoo. I mean, he went nuts.”
Yes — Crazy People Are Dangerous., and when you’re shipping in tens of thousands of “refugees” from one of the most backward countries on the planet, you’re likely to get a few hundred lunatic killers in the bunch.
