Article summary
The US Department of Justice reported on the detention of Mohammad Sharifullah, an alleged member of Islamic State Khorasan Province. Sharifullah was charged with aiding the murder of US military personnel and Afghanistani civilians during the US withdrawal from the country. However, he also confessed to providing instructions on the use of weapons to the people who carried out the March 2024 attack on Moscow’s Crocus City Hall, and said that he recognised two of the attackers as people to whom he had provided such instructions.
