Fox News
Rahmanullah Lakanwal, the Afghan national accused of shooting two National Guard members near the White House, served in an elite CIA counterterrorism unit in Afghanistan.
Jennifer Griffin currently serves as a national security correspondent for FOX News Channel (FNC) and is based out of the Washington D.C. bureau. She joined the network in October 1999 as a Jerusalem-based correspondent.
Lakanwal’s unit operated in Afghanistan’s southern region — in Kandahar, Helmand and Uruzgan — out of the former compound of the late Taliban leader Mullah Omar, commonly referred to as "Mullah Omar’s house" and by U.S. forces as "Camp Gecko."
NDS-03 was one of about five paramilitary groups working with the CIA. They were commonly called "Zero Units" due to the numbers following their National Directorate of Security (NDS) or Afghan intelligence service designation.
