State Department offers $10,000,000 for information on location of jihadi behind Kabul airport blast

The U.S. had this kind of bounty on the head of bin Laden and other jihadis for years. No one ever claimed the money. Do the foreign policy “experts” at State ever ponder why that might be? Almost certainly not. To do so might lead them into “Islamophobia.”

“State Dept. offers a $10m reward for information on the location of ISIS-K leader Sanaullah Ghafari and any terrorists behind the Kabul airport blast that killed 13 US troops,” by Rob Crilly, DailyMail.com, February 7, 2022

The United States on Monday offered a reward of up to $10 million for information leading to the capture of ISIS-K leader Sanaullah Ghafari and for help finding those behind the August 2021 attack at Kabul airport that killed 13 American service personnel.

Ghafari was appointed by the Islamic State’s core leadership in the Middle East as head of its Khorasan affiliate – using a historical term for the Afghanistan and Pakistan region – in June 2020, according to the State Department.

‘An ISIS communiqué announcing his appointment described al-Muhajir as an experienced military leader and one of ISIS-K’s “urban lions” in Kabul who has been involved in guerrilla operations and the planning of suicide and complex attacks,’ it said, using one of his known aliases.

It comes after the United Nations reported that terror groups now enjoy greater freedom in Afghanistan than at any time in history.

ISIS-K previously previously fought the Western-backed government that fell in August as well as the Taliban.

The State Department said Ghafari was responsible for approving all ISIS-K operations throughout Afghanistan and arranging funding to conduct operations.

It declared him a ‘Specially Designated Global Terrorist’ in November.

Some reports suggest the 27-year-old was born in Iraq – based on his nickname of al-Muhajir or ‘the migrant – but U.S. government documents list his birthplace as Afghanistan.

He was believed to have been a mid-level commander in the Taliban-allied Haqqani Network, before joining the Islamic State affiliate.

For years ISIS-K was overshadowed by the Taliban.

But it has prospered in recent months after the collapse of the Western-backed government, according to a United Nations monitoring report published last week.
