President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday the arrest of the individual allegedly responsible for the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal attack that claimed 13 U.S. service members' lives. The suspect, apprehended with assistance from Pakistan, is reportedly on his way to the U.S. for legal proceedings.

In an address to Congress, Trump revealed the breakthrough but withheld further specifics. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said the unnamed suspect would be taken into custody by U.S. law enforcement agencies, including the Justice Department, FBI, and CIA.

The White House confirmed that Mohammad Sharifullah, implicated in planning the attack at Abbey Gate, is being extradited to the U.S., as CNN reported. Bondi expressed hope that this arrest would bring closure to the families of the fallen service members.
