The crazed gunman accused of shooting two National Guard troops stationed on the streets of Washington DC shouted “Allahu Akbar” as he fired his weapon, according to a newly released criminal affidavit.

Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, an Afghan national who entered the US in 2021 following the US military pullout and worked on one of the CIA’s “Zero Units,” shot West Virginia National Guard members Specialist Sarah Beckstrom and Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe in the cowardly broad daylight attack.

Beckstrom, 20, died from her injuries on Thanksgiving Day while Wolfe remains hospitalized in critical condition.
