How Pakistan took the fight to Isis-K – and won Trump’s praise
Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) led a seven-month operation spanning 21 nations that resulted in the arrest of Mohammad Sharifullah, the orchestrator of the Kabul Abbey Gate bombing, and 38 others. The operation, initiated at the request of the CIA, targeted a key Islamic State Khorasan (ISIS-K) "external operations cell" responsible for numerous deadly attacks.
The ISI's director general, Lieutenant General Asim Malik, collaborated with the CIA to dismantle the ISIS-K cell, leading to the deportation of dangerous operatives to countries including the United States, Russia, Turkey, and Iran. Sharifullah's arrest marks a significant victory in the fight against ISIS-K and has garnered rare praise for Pakistan from US President Donald Trump.
