New bombshell twist in DC National Guard terrorist investigation: Was the shooter blackmailed by the Taliban? (Video)

A potential new twist in the investigation into Rahmanullah Lakanwal, the alleged terrorist who ambushed two national service guard members, killing one and critically injuring another. Sources told the Daily Beast that they’re investigating a lead that Lakanwal might’ve been blackmailed by the Taliban, who may have threatened to murder his family in Afghanistan if he didn’t open fire on national guard troops.
The Daily Beast reported that a Taliban unit known as “Yarmouk 60,” has made it a priority to track down and sometimes kill Afghans who helped US troops during the war. The anonymous source told the outlet that the potential blackmail wasn’t the “only line of inquiry,” the investigators are looking into.
