The tragic events at Abbey Gate unfolded on August 26, 2021, during evacuation operations at Kabul’s Hamid Karzai International Airport. ISIS-K member Abdul Rahman al-Logari detonated explosives, resulting in the deaths of 13 U.S. service members and approximately 160 civilians.

During FBI questioning on March 2, 2025, Sharifullah acknowledged his role in the attack’s preparation, including surveillance and route planning. He also admitted involvement in other lethal ISIS-K operations, including a 2016 bombing at the Canadian embassy in Kabul and providing weapons training to perpetrators of the 2024 Crocus City Hall attack in Moscow.

If found guilty, Sharifullah could face life imprisonment, with the final sentence to be determined by a federal district court judge based on sentencing guidelines and statutory considerations.
