Afghan Rahmanullah Lakanwal had a comfortable life and a cozy apartment in Washington state, but allegedly returned the favor by opening fire on two National Guard troops protecting Washington, DC.
The officials arrived at the secret CIA archival facility one morning in April. Their mission: to seize still-classified CIA files on the assassinations of Robert F. Kennedy, John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.
