BELLINGHAM, Washington — The Afghan terrorist accused of shooting two National Guard troops had been living a seemingly quiet family life in a $2,000-a-month apartment in this idyllic Washington state town – where neighbors said the FBI busted into his home during a Wednesday raid.
Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, was often seen playing Call of Duty and FIFA inside the bare apartment, which he shared with his hijab-wearing wife and his five kids, stunned neighbors in Bellingham told The Post on Thursday.
Neighbors said the refugees — who arrived in 2021 after the chaotic US pullout from Afghanistan — had no beds, and there were only “some couch cushions they would sleep on” inside the sparse apartment.
They “never made a peep,” one neighbor said, adding that Lakanwal didn’t speak much English and his oldest child is 14.
“Bellingham is very liberal,” the neighbor said, noting the area, which housed Afghan evacuees following the botched withdrawal, was “Very welcoming. Very diverse. Very open.”

How rude.
It's not like he's a President with First Lady and son there.
“Bellingham is very liberal. Very welcoming. Very diverse. Very open.”
These are dangerously stupid people.
no English. no job. playing video games: you can’t buy friendship or loyalty with welfare. You will wind up with resentment, envy, hate and violence.
Heads up their rectums. Yes.
In my city a postal carrier told me about the apartment dwellers who suddenly left near here.
He said he had turned them in to the government for having so many names living at one apartment.
He said they barely escaped when someone must have tipped them off at the post office or FBI. All gone. Hours before the raid.
The apartment had 9 men in their 20s living there, all undocumented from Central America, with no furniture except nine mattresses jammed together in the kitchen and living room.
My renewed driver’s license was “lost” in the mail the week before and I had to get a new one in person. I was told this happened to other people at the same time.
Letter carrier told me the illegals rent one apartment to get a US legal address for them all, then do identity theft or mail fraud to legally have mail delivered to that address, then leave to new place.
This was 2017.

As are most ME muslims furnish their abodes, according to Islamic law and tradition.
There is a mosque in Bellingham, Washington, which I am sure he attended along with all the other five-time-a-dayers. Hijabis not welcome!

“Didn’t speak much English”. First thing I’d look for in a translator.

5 kids and the SOB flies out to DC to do what he did. Before he is excecuted I wish his whole family gets sent to Afghanistan. Make it clear to any other Jihad jerk that such actions will hurt the spread of their evil religion.

WOW. He doesn’t speak much English and he was supposedly helping the USA in Afghanistan.
Something does not add up here.
Now having a 14 year old son does make sense. That would mean he impregnated his sweetheart when he was 14.
Just reported that the female NG who was shot has died.
“”””“Bellingham is very liberal,” the neighbor said, noting the area, which housed Afghan evacuees following the botched withdrawal, was “Very welcoming. Very diverse. Very open.””””
My home state is Washington and Bellingham was well known to have such open minded people living there that the brains of those open minded people had fallen out.
MISSING from this story is——
Where was the dude employed????
Why do I suspect the dude, the wife, and 5 kids were living on government handouts?
Refuge = refuse = rubbish = garbage = sewage = toxic waste
Oh no.
😢
