A federal jury in April convicted Sharifullah of participating in a nine-year conspiracy to provide material support to ISIS-K.
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover or tap one to see who reported it.
An Afghan man was sentenced to 20 years in prison Wednesday for his role in supporting the Islamic State group-K, five years after the terrorist group’s bombing at Kabul’s Abbey Gate killed 13 U.S. service members and roughly 160 Afghans during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Sharifullah could have faced a possible life sentence if the jury had unanimously agreed on that point.
"After making these preparations for the attack, Sharifullah was tasked with scouting a route near Hamid Karzai International Airport for an attacker," the affidavit said.
“He was brought here because the government believed he participated in the Abbey Gate attack, a theory which it was unable to prove at trial,” his attorneys wrote in a sentencing memorandum.
