‘Unleashed The Hounds Of Hell’: Gorka Details Taking Down Abbey Gate Terrorist, Says Trump Kept Promises To Families

Director for Counter Terrorism National Security Council Sebastian Gorka discussed Wednesday evening on Fox News how he helped take down alleged Abbey Gate terrorist Mohammad Sharifullah, saying that President Donald Trump kept his promise to the families of the 13 U.S. service members who were killed in the attack.

During the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 under the Biden-Harris administration, a suicide bomber killed 13 service members and at least 170 Afghan civilians outside the Abbey Gate of the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul. During his joint address to Congress Tuesday evening, Trump announced that Sharifullah, who was allegedly involved in planning the bombing, was arrested by his administration.

On “Jesse Watters Primetime,” Gorka, who had been with the team at the time of Sharifullah’s arrest, was asked by Fox’s Jesse Watters to describe the takedown, specifically what led to nabbing the suspected terrorist.

“We just unleashed the hounds of hell,” Gorka said. “I came into office to run counterterrorism for Mike Waltz, the former Green Beret National Security Advisor to President Trump. In my first two weeks, I’d been told by the intelligence community, our special operators, that they’ve been surveilling bad guys, jihadis across the planet for four years, and the Biden administration just didn’t care. We said, ‘Well, we told the president, and he said, find them and kill them.’”

Gorka said he told the CIA, NSA and FBI that they need to find Sharifullah for Trump and the families affected, whether that be killing him or bringing him “to U.S. soil to face justice.”

“The NSA especially, we salute, you know who you are … The NSA team that found a certain piece of intelligence. We provided it to the government of Pakistan,” Gorka said as he thanked that country for taking the suspected terrorist down and arresting him.
