华盛顿 — 去年年底在华盛顿特区被指控枪击两名国民警卫队员的男子于周三对联邦指控不认罪。

29岁的阿富汗籍男子拉赫马努拉·拉坎瓦尔(Rahmanullah Lakanwal)在华盛顿联邦法院出庭受审,并作了无罪辩护。主持此案的美国地区法官阿米特·梅塔(Amit Mehta)表示,涉嫌枪手将在审判前继续被拘留。

他面临九项联邦指控,包括武装一级谋杀。

检察官称,11月26日,拉坎瓦尔在白宫附近发动伏击式袭击,枪杀了陆军 Specialist( Specialist 此处指美军军衔,中文通常译为“ Specialist 士兵”或根据具体军种译为“ Specialist 下士”,此处保留军衔通用译法)莎拉·贝克斯托姆(Sarah Beckstrom)和空军中士安德鲁·沃尔夫(Andrew Wolfe)。贝克斯托姆和沃尔夫隶属于西弗吉尼亚国民警卫队,是应特朗普总统打击犯罪计划的部署到首都的。

20岁的贝克斯托姆头部中弹,次日死亡。24岁的沃尔夫伤势严重。

拉坎瓦尔在袭击中被另一名国民警卫队员开枪击伤。他被美国特勤局拘留。他首次出庭是通过医院病床连线进行的。

法庭文件显示,检察官称拉坎瓦尔从一名身份不明人士处购得作案用的.357口径史密斯威森左轮手枪,该人告诉调查人员,这把手枪2023年从西雅图的原主人家中被盗。拉坎瓦尔还在枪击案发生前几天从华盛顿州贝灵厄姆的一家体育用品店购买了弹药,并在谷歌地图上搜索了“华盛顿特区”和“白宫”。

检察官认为,拉坎瓦尔从他和妻子以及五个儿子居住的华盛顿州驾车前往华盛顿特区,并在枪击案发生前几天抵达。

消息人士12月告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻,拉坎瓦尔2021年通过拜登政府任内推出的“盟友欢迎行动”(Operation Allies Welcome)计划来到美国。该计划是在美国政府从阿富汗混乱撤军后启动的。消息人士称,他和家人逃离了阿富汗霍斯特省塔利班的威胁,先搬到喀布尔,然后前往美国。

美国中央情报局(CIA)一名发言人证实,拉坎瓦尔在阿富汗战争期间曾与美国政府(包括中央情报局)合作。

Rahmanullah Lakanwal, D.C. National Guard shooting suspect, pleads not guilty to federal charges

Washington — The man accused of shooting two members of the National Guard in Washington, D.C., late last year pleaded not guilty Wednesday to federal charges.

Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a 29-year-old Afghan national, was arraigned in federal court in Washington and entered a not-guilty plea. U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta, who is presiding over the case, said the suspected gunman will remain detained pending a trial.

He faces nine federal charges, including first-degree murder while armed.

Prosecutors allege that Lakanwal shot Army Spc. Sarah Beckstrom and Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe in an ambush-style attack not far from the White House on Nov. 26. Beckstrom and Wolfe served in the West Virginia National Guard and had been deployed to the capital as part of President Trump’s plan to crack down on crime.

Beckstrom, 20, was shot in the head and died the next day. Wolfe, 24, was critically wounded.

Lakanwal was shot and wounded by another National Guard member during the attack. He was taken into custody by the U.S. Secret Service. He made his first court appearance virtually from a hospital bed.

Prosecutors said that Lakanwal acquired the .357 Smith & Wesson revolver used in the attack from an unnamed person, who told investigators that it had been stolen from the Seattle home of its original owner in 2023. Lakanwal also bought ammunition from a sporting goods store in Bellingham, Washington, days before the shooting and conducted a search on Google Maps for “Washington, D.C.,” and “the White House,” according to court filings.

Prosecutors believe that Lakanwal drove from Washington state, where he lived with his wife and their five sons, to Washington, D.C., and arrived several days before the shooting.

Sources told CBS News in December that Lakanwal came to the United States in 2021 as part of a program for Afghan nationals called Operation Allies Welcome, which was rolled out during the Biden administration after the U.S. government’s chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan. He and his family fled threats from the Taliban in Afghanistan’s Khost province and moved to Kabul before traveling to the U.S., sources said.

A spokesperson for the CIA confirmed that Lakanwal had worked with the U.S. government, including the CIA, during the Afghanistan war.
