Trump criticized the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, calling the Abbey Gate incident one of the country's most embarrassing moments. This apprehension marks a significant victory for U.S. counterterrorism operations and reflects continued commitment to addressing threats from ISIS-K in the region.
We have just apprehended the top terrorist responsible for that atrocity, and he is right now on his way here to face the swift sword of American justice.
