Delivering Justice

Last week, ISIS-K terrorist Mohammed Sharifullah admitted his involvement in multiple terror attacks. He admitted that he conducted surveillance for a suicide bombing at the Canadian embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan in 2016. He admitted that he trained the attackers who killed 130 people in Moscow, Russia last year. And he admitted that he strategized for the Abbey Gate suicide bombing that occurred during the 2021 withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan—an attack that took the lives of 13 American service members, including Nebraska’s own Corporal Daegan Page.
