Rahmanullah Lakanwal,
According to CNN ,A senior officer of state Department confirmed that Rahmanullah Lakanwal first came to US in September 2021, shortly after the chaotic US withdrawal from Kabul.
He was among the 190,000 Afghans admitted to the US under Operation Allies and Enduring Welcome.
He began working around 2011.
Lakanwal was vetted several times, both while working with the US in his native country and in the process of immigrating.
He would have undergone continuous, annual vetting in the wake of the failed terror plot disrupted before the election last year in Oklahoma, which involved an Afghan immigrant.
He lived with his wife and children in Bellingham, Washington, according to US Attorney Jeanine Pirro.
The suspect shot Beckstrom and Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe — who is still hospitalized in critical condition — with a revolver, said Pirro.
Lakanwal was shot by another member of the National Guard and is hospitalized under heavy security, US authority reported.
