What was Opatija’s attack?
During American military withdrawal from Afghanistan In the summer of 2021, US and coalition forces carried out an evacuation operation at the Kabul’s International Airport Hamid Karzai.
Abbey Gate was the main entry place for surgery, and thousands of civilians were in the area on August 26, 2021, according to the Ministry of Justice.
At about 17:36, on that day, Abdul Rahman al-Glogari-head of the Islamic State Iraq and Ash-Sham-Khorazan Provinces (ISIS-K) “detonated a suicide in the body in Abbey Gate, killing 13 members of the US military service and reported about 160 civilians.”

A statement published by the Ministry of Justice said that Special FBI agents interviewed Sharifullah around the beginning of this week, during which he revealed that he was in a prison in Afghanistan from 2019 to about two weeks before the Abbey Gate attack.
“After the release of Sharifullah, Isis-K member contacted Sharifullah to agree on his help in the upcoming attack,” he cited the statement of Sharifullah in an interview.
“The Isis-K members provided a Sharfulullah motorcycle, a cell phone and a SIM card and instructions to open an account on a particular social media media for communicating with them during the attack surgery.

“Sharifullah announced to other members of ISIS-Ka that he believed that the route was clear and that he did not think that the attacker would be discovered during the passage of that route. The Isis-Ka members then instructed Sharifullah to leave the HKI area,” continued. “Later on the same day, Sharifullah learned of the attack on HKI … and recognized the alleged bomber as an operative Isis-K he knew while in prison.”

After the attacks, the Russian authorities arrested four attackers in connection with the attack. Sharifullah recognized two people as the same people to whom he provided a video of firearms.”
