The Afghan man accused of shooting two members of the National Guard in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday had worked with C.I.A.-supported military units in Afghanistan, the agency said.
The suspect worked for multiple U.S. government agencies in Afghanistan, including a C.I.A.-backed unit in the southern province of Kandahar, a stronghold of the Taliban insurgency during the two-decade war there, the C.I.A. said. Officials identified the suspect as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29.
After American forces withdrew from Afghanistan in August 2021 and gave way to Taliban rule, the suspect was brought to the United States as part of a program to evacuate Afghans who had worked with the agency, according to the C.I.A. director, John Ratcliffe.
Mr. Lakanwal’s affiliation with a C.I.A.-supported unit was earlier reported by Fox News Digital.
“In the wake of the disastrous Biden withdrawal from Afghanistan, the Biden administration justified bringing the alleged shooter to the United States in September 2021 due to his prior work with the U.S. government, including C.I.A., as a member of a partner force in Kandahar, which ended shortly following the chaotic evacuation,” Mr. Ratcliffe said in a statement.
Mr. Ratcliffe said the alleged assailant “should have never been allowed to come here.”
The Afghan units trained and supported by the C.I.A. played an important role in the American evacuation. While many Afghan military units dissolved in the face of the Taliban takeover, the C.I.A.’s partner units remained operational and helped bring U.S. citizens and Afghans who had worked with American forces to Kabul to be evacuated out of the country.
So what do we think, directed to this action by the CIA or somehow working independently? My gut says CIA directed but I don’t think they would admit he worked for them if that were true and also I struggle to see a reason the CIA would want to do directly attempt to further destabilize American culture
As an afghan collaborator, he’s guaranteed to have many personal and legitimate grievances with the US. If it was directed by the CIA it wouldn’t be just two national guards.
Why not?
CIA tends to aim higher than that, have more coherent objectives, and generally use more people. Something that guarantees it can’t be swept under the rug.
If this was provoked by the feds, the MO would fit the FBI more. They have a history of pressuring angry Muslim men into acts of violence and not always stopping them.
But the most likely explanation is this guy probably had every right in the world to kill US armed forces.
They’d want civilian casualties, and a lot more of them.
bomb?
The narrative has been set for a false flag (not saying it is one) with democrat politicians coming out and saying US military members should disobey unlawful orders. Now US servicemen are shot in a targeted crime “just doing their job”, which helps the administration ramp up their domestic invasion even further.
The reality is most of what we call false flags are subtle nudges pushing someone to violence without a clear directive rather than a room in a cia office where they’re like “okay Mr guy here’s the gun we need you to kill these national guard guys”
In this case if I had to guess though I think he may actually be an afghan lib that feels a sense of betrayal from the administration and maybe possibly worries about potential deportation??
This feels right.
This actually might have come from a different arm of the state. They want to expel all non-white migrants, Afghanistan included, so an event that helps them paint migrants as dangerous terrorists would help them accelerate their ethnic cleansing campaign.
Although it doesn’t quite align with their current focus on Venezuela, so maybe not.
Ehh I really doubt if any Afghan that didn’t work for cia or some other important institutions could be brought to USA during retreat
