An Afghan interpreter who survived working alongside U.S. special forces fighting the Taliban for ten years has been shot and killed in Mayor Muriel Bowser’s Democrat-run Washington, D.C.
Nasrat Ahmadyar, a father-of-four, is said to have “come to America to be safe,” according to Jeramie Malone, who assists Afghans resettling in the U.S.
Photographs taken in Afghanistan show Nasrat wearing military fatigues and carrying a rifle alongside American special forces members. After fleeing to America following Joe Biden’s botched withdrawal from the country, which is now more under Taliban control than it was before the 2001 invasion, he initially settled in Philadelphia, but moved due to concerns it was too violent.
D.C. proved no safer for Nasrat, however, as he was killed by a gunshot to the stomach while working as a Lyft driver. Surveillance footage shows four males running from the scene of the crime, but no one had been arrested as of the time of publication. He was the tenth person killed in the American capital over a period of just five days.
