The attack, which occurred during a federal law enforcement surge in D.C., involved Lakanwal allegedly driving with a stolen gun and ambushing guardsmen outside a subway station. Witnesses reportedly heard him shout “Allahu Akbar” during the assault, and he was wounded in the confrontation. Lakanwal, who previously worked with U.S. forces in Afghanistan, appeared in court in a wheelchair, with his legal team handling the plea. The prosecution is weighing the death penalty, but defense attorneys have a chance to present mitigating evidence before any decision. His next court date is September 16th, with no trial date yet set. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
