House Homeland GOP 'urgently concerned' with terrorist wanted by FBI in Taliban government

FIRST ON FOX: Republicans on the House Homeland Security Committee are warning that Americans in Afghanistan are “in the hands” of the head of a designated terror organization who is on the FBI's most-wanted list.

"As you are aware, the ongoing crisis in Afghanistan continues to pose increased terrorism risk to Americans both at home and abroad," they wrote to Mayorkas.  "With American citizens and our Afghan allies awaiting permission from the Taliban to leave the country on chartered flights – a previously unthinkable scenario that is wholly unacceptable to the American people – we are urgently concerned about the Taliban’s naming of one of the FBI’s most-wanted terrorist operatives, Sirajuddin Haqqani, head of a terrorist group known as the Haqqani network, as the country’s acting interior minister," they wrote.
