Afghan and Syrian Migrants Up to Ten Times More Likely to Be Suspected of Crimes in Germany

Afghan and Syrian nationals are significantly overrepresented among suspects of violent crimes in Germany, according to official statistics.

This week, the Bild newspaper revealed some of the data from Germany’s Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) report “Crime in the Context of Immigration” demonstrating that some foreign groups were much more likely to be suspected of serious crimes than German nationals.

When looking at violent crimes, there was a rate of 163 suspects per 100,000 Germans in 2024. In contrast, the rate for Afghan nationals stood at 1,722 suspects per 100,000 inhabitants. Meanwhile, the rate for Syrian nationals was 1,740 suspects per 100,000 inhabitants, or more than ten times the rate of German citizens.

According to the paper, a similar trend was born out in other categories of crime, including sexual offences or drug crimes, both of which are also led by Syrians and Afghans.

Separate figures revealed last month that foreigners now account for over 40 per cent of all suspected criminals in Germany last year. This jumped to over 43 per cent when only looking at violent crimes, recorded in the Police Crime Statistics 2024 (PKS 2024).

Another Afghan National Was Busted for Allegedly Plotting a Mass Shooting

Democrats swore up and down that the Biden administration “carefully vetted” all the Afghan nationals we brought to America after the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan. Despite that, an Afghan national named Rahmanullah Lakanwal drove from the West Coast to D.C., where he shot two National Guardsmen, killing one of them, 20-year-old Sarah Beckstrom, and leaving the other, 24-year-old Andrew Wolfe, critically wounded.

In the days following that shooting, more Afghan nationals were arrested for various threats, including one in Texas who threatened to bomb Fort Worth and one in Virginia who was helping ISIS-K.

Now a third Afghan national named Luqmaan Khan was arrested in Delaware, this time for allegedly plotting a mass shooting.

“He allegedly told cops that becoming a martyr was ‘one of the greatest things you can do,'” Morello wrote.

Kahn came to the U.S. as a “youth,” according to The New York Post.

Suspect in National Guard Shooting Was Part of CIA-Backed Unit That Hunted Down Taliban Commanders

More information is being uncovered about Rahmanullah Lakanwal, the 29-year-old Afghan who allegedly shot two National Guard members in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday.

Lakanwal was a member of a secret military operation backed by the CIA to hunt down Taliban commanders, according to multiple reports. The members of the “Zero Units” were highly vetted and praised by those who knew about them.

One of the guardsmen has since died, and the other is in critical condition. Both are members of the West Virginia National Guard.

Refugee advocates say that many Zero Units members have fallen into despair over their inability to gain work permits in the U.S. after fleeing from Afghanistan when it was retaken by the Taliban. Former intelligence and military officials say Lakanwal would have undergone significant vetting to be accepted into a Zero Unit operation.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe confirmed Lakanwal’s CIA connection. “In the wake of the disastrous Biden withdrawal from Afghanistan, the Biden administration justified bringing the alleged shooter to the United States in September 2021 due to his prior work with the U.S. government, including CIA, as a member of a partner force in Kandahar, which ended shortly following the chaotic evacuation,” he said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

Report: Afghan National Suspect in National Guardsmen Shooting; Watch: Donald Trump Addresses the Nation

By Breitbart. Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a 29-year-old Afghan national, has been identified as the suspect in the shooting of two national guardsmen in Washington, D.C.

Multiple law enforcement officials reported confirmed to CBS News that “The suspect in the shooting of the two National Guard members is 29-year-old Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal.”

“The suspect used a handgun to carry out the attack, two law enforcement sources told CBS News,” it added.

Lakanwal reportedly entered the United States in 2021, most likely as a result of President Joe Biden’s botched pullout of American troops from Afghanistan.

Bill Melugin of Fox News also reported that Lakanwal’s permission to stay in the U.S. expired in September and he has been in the country illegally since then.

“Per multiple federal law enforcement sources, the suspect in custody for the shooting of two National Guard soldiers in DC is an Afghan national who entered the U.S. on 9/8/2021 as part of the Biden admin’s Operation Allies Welcome in the aftermath of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan,” reported Melugin.

National Guardsmen Shooting Suspect Underwent Vetting Process And Approved For Asylum This Year

Chief law enforcement officer and intelligence analyst John Miller said the Afghan national accused of shooting two National Guardsmen on Wednesday went through multiple rounds of federal vetting before securing asylum in the United States earlier this year.

Authorities say the suspect in the shooting of two West Virginia National Guardsmen near the White House, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, is an Afghan national who entered the U.S. on humanitarian parole after fleeing the Taliban takeover. During a segment on “Anderson 360,” Miller revealed that the suspect first arrived from Afghanistan in 2021 and went through multiple vetting processes.

“What we know is that he comes here from Afghanistan. Now, this is a guy who’s been living in Washington state, not Washington DC, on the other end of the country. He comes here from Afghanistan in the summer of 2021,” Miller said. “Remember what that was like. Refugees fleeing Afghanistan. People had to be recommended by U.S. people on one end, vetted on this end by government background checks as far as they could do in Afghanistan, have sponsors and so on.”

The suspect, Miller said, eventually settled in Washington state and applied for asylum in December 2024, launching a separate, formal vetting process.

“He settled in Washington. He applies for asylum in December of 2024. Now he goes through another vetting process involving that. And he’s approved for asylum in April of this year under the Trump administration,” Miller said. “He comes in under the Biden administration. These checks are being done. I remember as a part of the Joint Terrorism Task Force in New York where we supplied people for that vetting process, it was a lot of pressure. There was a lot of people. They were being kept in military installations.” (Read more from “National Guardsmen Shooting Suspect Underwent Vetting Process And Approved For Asylum This Year” HERE)

Alleged Abbey Gate Plotter Was Released From Prison After Joe Biden Abandoned Bagram Two Weeks Before Bombing

An affidavit released Wednesday revealed that an alleged architect of the 2021 Abbey Gate suicide bombing that killed 13 American service members in Afghanistan was released from prison just two weeks before the attack — which coincides with when thousands of prisoners were released from the Bagram Air Base after the Biden administration abandoned it.

The affidavit, released by the Trump Department of Justice, stated that Mohammad Sharifullah was in prison in Afghanistan from approximately 2019 until approximately two weeks before the attack at the Hamid Karzai International Airport’s (HKIA) Abbey Gate.

The affidavit did not say which prison Sharifullah was released from. However, it is a widely known fact that around the time of his release and two weeks before the bombing, Taliban fighters took over a U.S. base abandoned by the Biden administration and freed thousands of prisoners.

Antony Blinken Defends Afghanistan Withdrawal, Says Things Didn’t Turn Out Too Bad

Secretary of State Antony Blinken apologized Wednesday to the families of 13 U.S. troops killed by a suicide bomber during America’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, saying he wished the government had done more to protect them.

Mr. Blinken told Congress that the Biden administration has managed to blunt some of the withdrawal’s worst problems.

He said al Qaeda has not been able to revive itself inside Afghanistan and worries about stranded Americans haven’t come to fruition. The U.S. has rescued hundreds of people left in Afghanistan at the end of the August 2021 pullout.

Far from frayed alliances and falling U.S. standing, he said, America emerged with firmer friends and better security on the international stage. In particular, he said, the withdrawal allowed the U.S. to be in a position to build the coalition that helped Ukraine resist Russia’s invasion in February 2022.

“It’s clear that our alliances, our partnerships, are stronger today than they have been in a generation,” he told the House Foreign Affairs Committee. (Read more from “Antony Blinken Defends Afghanistan Withdrawal, Says Things Didn’t Turn Out Too Bad” HERE)

Even the Feds Can’t Get Biden’s Pentagon to Say How Many People Were Actually Evacuated During Afghanistan Withdrawal

Three years on and with pressing questions remaining, not even federal investigators can get the Biden administration’s Pentagon to answer how many people were actually evacuated from Afghanistan during the 2021 withdrawal.

The Biden administration’s withdrawal from Afghanistan was a chaotic operation that left 13 servicemembers dead and thousands of Americans initially stranded. Though the State Department estimates that over 125,000 people, including 6,000 American citizens, were evacuated from Afghanistan in withdrawal efforts, the department’s Office of the Inspector General (OIG) said in a report on Tuesday it couldn’t substantiate that number because it was unable to acquire the necessary data from the Pentagon.

“State OIG could not confirm the number of individuals evacuated from Afghanistan with the support of the U.S. government in 2021,” the agency said in the report.

The Afghanistan withdrawal raised severe criticisms from both sides of the political aisle against the Biden administration. Multiple after-action reports have found that the administration poorly planned the operation and incorrectly predicted that the Taliban wouldn’t take control of Afghanistan as fast as it did, leaving the military to scramble to try and safely conduct the withdrawal. A State Department after-action report found that there was also confusion as to who at the department was leading efforts during the operation.

No one inside the Biden administration has been fired or has resigned for their role in the botched withdrawal. President Joe Biden continues to defend his decision to leave, though he has been criticized for not personally addressing the matter more thoroughly.

Kamala Closes an Already Disastrous Week by Trashing Gold Star Families; Trump Releases Statement From Families: Harris ‘Disgracefully Twisted’ Trump Cemetery Visit Into ‘Political Ploy’

By Breitbart. Incumbent Vice President Kamala Harris closed out what was already a terrible week with a desperate flail trashing 13 Gold Star families that then blew up spectacularly in her stupid and incompetent face.

First, let’s review the last seven days. . .

Kamala’s insanely stupid and cruel Saturday afternoon tweet accusing 13 Gold Star families of agreeing to act as props so Trump could politicize the death of their loved one was unquestionably the act of a desperate campaign panicking over internal poll numbers and hoping to change the narrative on the Sunday shows away from her disastrous CNN interview.

In the history of unforced presidential campaign errors, this one’s a doozy…

Kamala has bragged about being the “last one in the room” when the calamitous decision was made to surrender Afghanistan to terrorists before all of our people and billions of dollars in weaponry had been removed. That’s why these 13 men and women died. (Read more from “Kamala Closes an Already Disastrous Week by Trashing Gold Star Families” HERE)

Trump Releases Statement From Gold Star Families: Harris ‘Disgracefully Twisted’ Trump Cemetery Visit Into ‘Political Ploy’

By Breitbart. Former President Donald Trump released a statement from the Gold Star families of the 13 fallen United States service members who were killed during the Biden administration’s withdrawal from Afghanistan.

In a post on X, Trump shared a joint statement from Misty Fuoco, the sister of Marine Corps Sgt. Nicole Gee; Cheryl Juels, the aunt of Gee; Christy Shamblin, the mother-in-law of Gee; Mark Schmitz, the father of Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Jared Schmitz; Jaclyn Schmitz, the stepmother of Schmitz; Herman Lopez, the father of Marine Corps Cpl. Hunter Lopez; Jim McCollum, the father of Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Rylee McCollum; Steve Nikoui, the father of Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Kareem Nikoui; Coral Doolittle, the mother of Marine Corps Cpl. Humberto Sanchez; Darin Hoover, the father of Marine Corps Staff Sgt. Taylor Hoover; and Kelly Barnett, the mother of Hoover.

The families wrote in their joint statement that Vice President Kamala Harris’s statement labeling Trump’s visit to Arlington National Cemetery to take part in a wreath-laying ceremony to honor the family’s lost loved ones and fallen servicemembers a “political stunt” was “false, hypocritical, and disrespectful.”

In the statement, the families added that Harris had “disgracefully twisted this sacred moment into a political ploy.”

“Today, Gold Star Families who lost their loved ones in the Harris-Biden Administration’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan released the following joint statement and heartfelt video messages in a direct response to Kamala Harris’ false, hypocritical, and disrespectful statement attacking President Trump,” the statement from the families began.

Biden’s Afghanistan: Taliban Bans MMA

The Taliban terrorist organization ruling Afghanistan confirmed on Wednesday that it had formally banned mixed martial arts (MMA), a sport that began thriving in the country in the final years before the fall of Kabul in 2021.

The edict banning MMA followed the publication of an extensive decree last week by the Ministry for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice listing a host of new prohibitions on the private lives of Afghans. The decree officially banned women from showing their faces or using their voices in public and mandated beards and “Islamic” haircuts on men, among other restrictions.

MMA was a nascent sport in Afghanistan when, following the disastrous decision by leftist American President Joe Biden to extend the 20-year Afghan War beyond an agreed-upon May 2021 deadline, the Taliban seized control of Kabul and the Afghan federal government. The Taliban has remained the uncontested ruling power in Afghanistan since, although it has not received formal recognition as such from any other country nor from the United Nations.

The Agence France-Presse (AFP) confirmed the MMA ban with Taliban officials on Wednesday.

“It was found that the sport is problematic with respect to sharia and it has many aspects which are contradictory to the teachings of Islam,” the Taliban’s sports agency said in a statement. “That’s why this decision has been made to ban mixed martial arts in Afghanistan.” (Read more from “Biden’s Afghanistan: Taliban Bans MMA” HERE)
