  • Washington police said a suspect is in custody and the scene is secure.
  • The FBI will initially investigate the shooting as a possible act of terrorism, two senior U.S. law enforcement officials said.

Americans were initially told the shooter near the White House was just an “Afghan national.”

But new reporting paints a far more alarming picture.

🔥 The Suspect

Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, wasn’t just any Afghan migrant.

According to multiple outlets, he was a highly trained veteran of Afghanistan’s elite Commando Corps, fighting alongside U.S. Special Forces in Kandahar for over a decade.

🔥 Reports of CIA-Linked Background

Several reports now claim Lakanwal was part of the CIA-backed Kandahar Strike Force (NDS-03) - a covert paramilitary unit described as one of the most lethal and secretive forces of the Afghan war.

Public reporting says this unit reportedly carried out:

• night raids
• counterterror missions
• targeted operations on Taliban and al-Qaeda
• intelligence-driven strikes outside the Afghan chain of command

🔥 Confirmed U.S. Government Ties

Fox News and other outlets report Lakanwal had worked with multiple U.S. agencies during the war.
Former CIA Director John Ratcliffe confirmed publicly:

“Lakanwal worked with the U.S. government, including the CIA…

He should never have been brought into the United States.”

🔥 How He Entered the U.S.

According to NBC News and other sources:

• Lakanwal was granted a Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) in 2021 during the chaotic withdrawal

• He later received asylum
• He had been living in Washington State
• He has a wife and five sons
• His relatives had not heard from him in months

🔥 The Attack

At 2:15 PM, Lakanwal allegedly ambushed two unarmed West Virginia National Guardsmen near the White House while reportedly shouting the Islamic war cry - “Allahu Akbar.”

Both soldiers remain in critical condition.

⚠️ A Concerning New Data Point

Public Google Trends data - visible to anyone - shows a spike in searches for his name in the DC region HOURS before the attack:

This does not prove foreknowledge, but it raises serious questions and deserves investigation.

Congress should subpoena the IP data to determine whether this was coincidence or something more.

🔥 The Questions Everyone Is Asking

If the suspect was:

• trained by U.S. forces
• tied to a covert CIA-linked strike force
• admitted through a rushed SIV pipeline
• known to intelligence services

…how did he end up shooting American soldiers outside the White House?

And why was someone with this background not being monitored?

🔥 Additional Concern Being Raised by Commentators

Where are the rest of the QSF/KSF members who entered the U.S. under the same SIV pipeline?

Who approved them?
Who vetted them?
Who is tracking them now?

These individuals were not ordinary refugees; they were part of an intelligence - linked force.

Public commentators are calling for full oversight of how many were admitted, where they are now, and what monitoring - if any - occurred afterward.

🚨 America Needs the Full Truth

This is no longer a simple story of “an Afghan Muslim migrant committing an attack.”

Based on what is emerging, this case now involves:

• alleged CIA-linked units
• Special Forces training
• U.S.-issued visa protections
• a rushed post-withdrawal intake system
• unusual online activity hours before the attack

Details from Mike Davis:

"From law-enforcement source:

Afghan National, born in 1996, armed with a revolver ambushed a female guardsman, shooting her in the head, and a male guardsman, shot multiple times. They never saw it coming. Both guardsmen were armed.

A Major in the National Guard, who was unarmed and doing his spot checks of the guardsmen was in the block, heard the shots and turned to see the shooter who spotted him. He took cover behind a truck.

The suspect came for the Major who pulled out his pocket knife, and bravely took on the suspect who was reloading his revolver.

The Major began stabbing the suspect in the head.

Another guardsman in the area who was armed, them drew his pistol and shot the suspect twice, once in the leg and once in the buttocks.

The Major stated that when the suspect began shooting he heard him shout, Allahu akbar!”

I just briefed [omitted].

Now, you know too.

There’s more: we trying to confirm if the suspect, an Afghan national was an interpreter brought over by Biden, because he has a Department of Defense record. Again, we are trying to confirm.

The suspect has a home address in Washington State."
 
The West Virginia National Guard today provided additional information about the two Guard members who were critically wounded in a shooting yesterday in Washington, DC.
Army Spc. Sarah Beckstrom, 20, began Guard service on June 26, 2023, and was assigned to the 863rd Military Police Company, 111th Engineer Brigade, West Virginia Army National Guard, a news release states.
Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, 24, joined the Guard on February 5, 2019, and was assigned to the Force Support Squadron, 167th Airlift Wing, West Virginia Air National Guard.
Beckstrom, of Summersville, West Virginia, and Wolfe, of Martinsburg, West Virginia, had been deployed in the nation’s capital since August when the mission there began, according to the Guard.
Both remain hospitalized, state and federal officials said.

And WHEN was he “granted asylum,” the part I’ve noticed Fox News flat will not mention in their coverage?


He applied for asylum in 2024 and was granted asylum in April 2025, under the Trump administration, according to the sources. When asked Thursday about when the suspect was granted asylum, FBI Director Kash Patel did not answer


========

This girl would be alive if Trump’s vetters had done their jobs, plain and simple.

Look, I’m not a fan of such narratives because l think they’re childish in most cases but I’m at my Dad’s and Fox Poison is on 24/7 and they keep going with “Biden brought him here.”

Trump let him stay.
Trump deployed the Guard in DC.
Trump’s policies killed this girl.
The end.
 

National Guard shooting suspect granted asylum by Trump admin: Report​

The suspect in the shooting of two National Guard members near the White House on Wednesday was granted asylum by President Donald Trump’s administration, it has been reported.

A source familiar with the case and a separate law enforcement source told NBC News that Rahmanullah Lakanwal was granted asylum in the U.S. this year. CBS also reported that Lakanwal had applied for asylum in 2024 and that his application was granted earlier this year.
Lakanwal, 29, is reported to be an Afghan national who came to the United States as part of Operation Allies Welcome, the Biden-era effort to resettle Afghans who assisted U.S. forces. He was then granted asylum in the U.S. in April 2025, CNN reports.

A bit of a followup to the previous post

Yes, but remember the MAGA brain works like this:

Biden (who was NOT President) is to blame for 17K dead in the 2009 swine flu epidemic
Trump (who WAS President) "has no responsibility whatsoever" for the million Americans killed by his poor management of the Covid pandemic.

Tim Walz, who did little more than sign off on a list, is to blame for MAGA glue sniffer and killer of Speaker Hortman and her husband (and dog), Vance Boelter, who himself had a longer list of DEMOCRATS he was going to kill.

Trump bears no responsibility for letting this National Guard killer stay in the USA in April 2025, it was all Biden's fault.

This bunch in DC is the biggest bunch of sissies ever assembled to run the government.
 
I love how we can focus on 2 terrible deaths and ignore the hundreds of thousands of typical (but preventable) deaths from cars, guns, drugs etc. in this country as-business-as-usual.
