Shooting Suspect in Washington DC Ties to CIA, Agency Confirms Ties to Black Ops Units
A suspect in a deadly shooting of two national guard members in Washington DC has ties to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), according to agency officials. Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, had worked with CIA-backed military units during the US war in Afghanistan and was granted asylum in the US under the Trump administration.
Lakanwal's connection to the CIA was confirmed by the agency director, John Ratcliffe, who told media outlets that Lakanwal had worked for partner forces in Kandahar, a stronghold of the Taliban. The shooting suspect allegedly used a .357 Smith & Wesson revolver to target two national guard members, Sarah Beckstrom, 20, and Andrew Wolfe, 24, both of whom are from West Virginia.
National Guard Members Show Bravery in the Face of Violence
The two victims had put their lives on the line to protect people they didn't even know. Other national guard members at the scene engaged with the suspect and neutralized him, preventing further harm. Both Lakanwal and the two guardsmen are under arrest, with Lakanwal being treated for injuries at a hospital.
Prosecutor Jeanine Pirro described the shooting as "brazen and targeted" and announced that she would charge Lakanwal with three counts of assault with intent to kill while armed and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence. The charges could be increased to murder in the first degree if the national guard members do not survive.
The FBI is investigating the shooting as an act of terrorism, with Director Kash Patel calling it "a coast-to-coast investigation." Patel confirmed that the suspect's relationship with US forces in Afghanistan would be part of the investigation, including any known associates overseas and in the US.
The Shooting's Aftermath
President Donald Trump ordered 500 additional national guard troops to Washington DC following the shooting. He immediately blamed the Biden administration for failing to properly vet migrants from Afghanistan, announcing plans to review asylum and green card applications. Several federal agencies have promised reviews, including USCIS and DHS. The agency has stopped processing residency applications from Afghan nationals, while DHS is expanding its review of all asylum cases approved under the Biden administration.
Lakanwal's Connection to Black Ops Units Raises Questions
The revelation that Lakanwal had ties to CIA-backed military units in Afghanistan raises questions about his motivations for carrying out the attack. It also highlights the complex web of relationships between intelligence agencies and special forces, which can sometimes lead to security breaches.
As the investigation unfolds, it remains unclear what specific role Lakanwal played in the attack or whether he was working with any foreign entities. However, one thing is certain: the shooting has sent shockwaves through Washington DC and raised concerns about national security and immigration policies.

This whole thing just smells like a deep state conspiracy 
, if you ask me. I mean, the fact that this guy was connected to the CIA and had access to black ops units is just crazy 
. And now we're talking about vetting migrants from Afghanistan and asylum applications? It's like they're trying to distract us from the real issue here 
.
I'm not buying it, folks. We need to take a closer look at how our intelligence agencies are working together (or not) and whether they're sharing information that could put us all in danger 
.
. I want to know what's really going on here and who's behind it 
. The American people deserve the truth, no matter how uncomfortable it might be 
.
and then you got the whole Trump thing, saying Biden's messed up vetting process... no way to know if that's even true 
. I know we need stricter immigration policies and vetting processes, but at the same time, we gotta be careful not to create more problems than we solve 
.
.
. We should all be sending love and support 
. This whole situation is just too much to handle

how did we even end up here? a guy who's connected to the CIA is trying to kill two innocent people in our own city? it's just insane 
he's been living in the US under a Trump admin asylum deal and now we find out he's got ties to the CIA and black ops units in afghanistan?! it's like something straight out of a spy thriller 
. I mean, think about it - some dude who's got ties to CIA-backed military units in Afghanistan comes to the US on a whim under Trump's administration and ends up committing this heinous act? It's like something out of a spy thriller, but not in a good way 
. And now we're talking about potential terrorism charges and the possibility of him having foreign connections... it's just too much to handle 
.
.
and why did trump blame the biden admin again 
what's next? some agent from the pentagon just strolls in and starts shooting people because they're "following orders"? 
. And have you seen those .357 Smith & Wesson revolvers? So cool! 
.
. this whole situation is giving me major vibes of unease 
It's all just too much for my mind to wrap around.
