Twenty Years for ISIS-K Support | Irvine News

Mohammad Sharifullah got 20 years for aiding ISIS-K, convicted in Virginia after jurors couldn’t agree he pulled the trigger on the 2021 airport bombing — but prosecutors say he scouted the route. Victims’ parents spoke of their fallen soldiers, while his lawyers argued he was framed and may have cooperated out of fear. Prosecutors painted him as a hate-driven terrorist since teen years, tied to other deadly attacks including one in Moscow. The judge gave him the max sentence — avoiding life because the bombing charge wasn’t unanimous — even as the real bomber, an ISIS member freed from Afghan prison, remains unnamed.
