It was August 26th that a suicide bomber blew himself up at the entrance to the Kabul Airport where our US troops were desperately trying to evacuate not just Afghan allies but American citizens as well. This was immediately following a botched evacuation from Afghanistan by the Biden Administration. After this suicide bombing, 13 U.S. service members were killed in the attack, and ISIS-K took responsibility for the bombing.

On the 27th of August, Joe Biden issued a threat to ISIS-K that the United States was “not going to forget and would not forgive. We will hunt you down and make you pay!” He threatened the terrorists who blew up the Kabul airport.

The day after that, it was under the leadership of Joe Biden that there was a drone attack where the 46th President claimed that the United States had killed the mastermind of the suicide attack. However, the drone strike killed a U.S. aid worker along with his seven children and another adult.

It was Friday before the Pentagon finally admitted their “error” but they dragged their feet quite a bit beforehand. On Friday afternoon, General Mark Milley (remember him?) made the announcement that this wasn’t the “righteous strike” that it had originally been purported to be but instead a tragic mistake.

Now, there is a publication out of India that is reporting the fact that the suicide bomber was also responsible for murdering a tremendous amount of our U.S. troops and was released from Bagram Air Base only days before this terrible event. It was in their article that First Post blasted the U.S. for their reckless release of these “dangerous terrorists.”

First Post reports – The Islamic State suicide bomber who killed at least 169 Afghan civilians and 13 United States soldiers outside Kabul airport last month was incarcerated in Afghanistan’s notorious Bagram prison for the past four years, thanks to Indian efforts, Firstpost has learned through credible intelligence sources.

There are several Senior Indian Intelligence officials familiar with the case that has told First Post that they handed him over to the United States Central Intelligence Agency by the Research and Analysis Wing in September of 2017. However, this terrorist walked free on the 15th of August, taking thousands of dangerous terrorists in the high-security prison with him. They all took advantage of the chaos that had ensued in the aftermath of the United States’ rushed exit and the Taliban taking over the country just like flicking off a light switch.

Identified as Abdul Rehman, this jihadist was a former student from an engineering college in India and had originally hailed from Afghanistan’s Logar Province. He was the son of an Afghan merchant and he frequently visited India for business.

His arrest has led to the termination of a plot from the Islamic State of Khurasan Province (IS-K) – the Islamic State’s regional wing in Afghanistan – in an effort to stage suicide bombings in New Delhi and several other cities throughout the region, most likely due to the request of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate (ISI).
“America’s disorganized retreat from Afghanistan has led to hundreds of highly-competent and highly-committed terrorists being set free to rejoin the Islamic State, al-Qaeda, and other terrorist groups,” one officer who worked on the Abdul Rehman case said.

“Literally a decade’s work on counter-terrorism has been undone by the US’ failure to secure key prisoners in Bagram,” he said adding that the consequences of this failure will be “very far-reaching.”
