Rahmanullah Lakanwal
Rahmanullah Lakanwal is a CIA-backed Kandahar Strike Forces member, who entered under Operation Allies Welcome[1] in September of 2021,[2] ambushed and shot two unarmed West Virginia National Guard members near the White House.
Lakanwal was confirmed as a CIA âpartner forceâ asset by CIA director John Ratcliffe on Fox News. He had been recruited by the CIA at the age of 14.
President Trump labelled the fallout âan act of terrorâ and demanded immediate re-examination of every Afghan refugee admitted since 2021, and blamed Joe Biden policies. The United States indefinitely halted all Afghan immigration processing, US Citizenship & Immigration Services announced on November 26, 2025.
Social media posts expose suspicious foreknowledge in search data:
- Shooter Lakanwal ambushed two unarmed National Guardsmen at 2:15 PM EST, yelling âAllahu Akbar.â
- Google Trends shows his name spiking in Washington, DC hours earlier: 2:24 AM (84), 3:28 AM (100 peak), 8 AM (22), long before the attack.
- This directly suggests foreknowledge. Someone knew it was coming and was checking whether the CIAâtrained asset had carried out the mission. Users are now asking: who was handling him?
