CIA shocker on US shooting: Afghan man who fought Taliban attacked DC guards? Shocking details out

Published on Nov 28, 2025 01:28 am IST

A 29-year-old Afghan national, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, who entered the U.S. in 2021 under the Biden-era Operation Allies Welcome programme, is accused of shooting two West Virginia National Guard soldiers just blocks from the White House in what officials describe as a targeted attack being probed as potential terrorism. The shooting, which left both Guardsmen critically injured and the suspect wounded but in custody, has ignited a fierce political firestorm in Washington, with Donald Trump condemning it as an “act of terror” and demanding a full review of all Afghans resettled under the evacuation scheme, while media reports and Taliban-linked sources raise questions about Lakanwal’s past ties to U.S.-backed Afghan units and the vetting process for evacuees.
