Abbey Gate is back in the headlines after a Virginia jury convicted an Afghan man of aiding ISIS for the Kabul airport bombing that killed 13 U.S. service members. No need for long bios here.
A Virginia jury has convicted Mohammad Sharifullah of providing material support to ISIS-K but has deadlocked on whether that support caused deaths at Abbey Gate during the 2021 Afghanistan evacuation. Sentencing faces up to 20 years if death is not proven; trial marks the first U.S. criminal proceeding linked to Abbey Gate.
