Taliban Disavows Afghan Shooter, Blames U.S. Training

Afghan Talibans foreign minister, Amir Khan Muttaqi, disavows connection between Afghan immigrants shooting incident in Washington, D.C., and Afghanistans people or government. Suspect, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, charged with murder and other offenses, was part of a CIA-backed unit in Afghanistan and entered U.S. through an immigration program. Muttaqi claims Lakanwal was trained and assigned by Americans, then brought to U.S. through an illegal process. Lakanwal previously granted asylum under Trump administration, raising questions about individual accountability versus national association. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story.
