Federal Jury Convicts Afghan ISIS-K Member for Abbey Gate Bombing and Related Attacks
A federal jury in the United States convicted Mohammad Sharifullah, an Afghan national and member of the terrorist organization Islamic State of Iraq and ash-Sham-Khorasan Province (ISIS-K), for his involvement in the Abbey Gate bombing. The court found Sharifullah culpable for this attack as well as additional operations attributed to ISIS-K.
The Abbey Gate bombing was among the most significant ISIS-K operations prosecuted in U.S. federal courts. Sharifullah's conviction underscores ongoing efforts by U.S. authorities to hold ISIS-K operatives accountable for terror attacks impacting U.S. and allied interests.
The details of the other linked ISIS-K attacks in the case were not specified in the report. There is no information on any sentencing or further legal procedures at this time.
