US President Donald Trump confirmed the arrest of the top ‘monster’ who was ‘responsible’ for the Abbey Gate bombing in his speech to Congress.

Trump’s First Congressional Address: A Bold Stand Against Terrorism

On March 4, President Donald Trump delivered his highly anticipated first speech to a joint session of Congress, making a powerful declaration about America’s stance against radical Islamic terrorism.

Addressing the Abbey Gate bombing at Kabul’s Hamid Karzai International Airport—a devastating attack during the U.S. evacuation from Afghanistan three and a half years ago—Trump honored the 13 fallen American service members and the “countless” others affected. He didn’t hold back in condemning the withdrawal as “the most embarrassing moment in the history of America.”

But his speech wasn’t just about reflection—it came with a major announcement.

“I am pleased to announce that we have just apprehended the top terrorist responsible for that atrocity,” Trump declared, signaling a decisive move in the fight against global terrorism.

Without revealing the suspect’s name, the president added:

“And he is right now on his way here to face the swift sword of American justice.”

Trump then hinted at further developments, calling it a “very momentous day” for national security. His speech sent a clear message—under his leadership, the U.S. is taking bold action against its enemies.

Trump Credits Pakistan for Arrest, Honors Fallen Heroes

President Trump expressed his gratitude to the government of Pakistan for aiding in the arrest of the terrorist responsible for the Abbey Gate bombing, calling it a significant day for the 13 families who lost loved ones or suffered injuries in the tragic attack.

Reflecting on his deep connection with the victims’ families, Trump shared:

“I actually got to know most of them very well—many of them lost their children.”

He didn’t hold back in criticizing the Afghanistan withdrawal, calling it an act of “gross incompetence” and even suggesting that it emboldened Russian President Vladimir Putin:

“What a horrible day. Such incompetence was shown—that when Putin saw what happened, I guess he said, ‘Wow, maybe this is my chance.’ That’s how bad it was. This should have never happened.”

Despite the pain, Trump revealed that speaking with the families brought a bittersweet sense of closure:

“I just spoke to them on the phone. We had a big call—every one of them joined, and they did nothing but cry with happiness. As happy as you can be under such circumstances. Their child, brother, sister, son, or daughter was taken for no reason whatsoever.”

The news was later confirmed by FBI Director Kash Patel in a statement on Twitter, marking a decisive moment in America’s fight against terrorism.

“On the ground last night at Dulles airfield as FBI personnel and our DOJ + CIA partners delivered a terrorist wanted for the Afghanistan Abbey Gate murders,” Patel wrote in a post.

His message carried a stern warning to those who threaten American lives:

“To terrorists around the world responsible for harming Americans: We will hunt the ends of the earth and find you.”

This latest development underscores the U.S. government’s unwavering commitment to justice and national security—sending a clear message that those who target Americans will face the full force of the law.
