12 Daesh militants killed in clash with security forces in Nangarhar
 [Khaama (Afghanistan)] 12 Death Eaters from the terrorist group of the Islamic State...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... (IS) or Daesh [Islamic State] have been killed in a clash with security forces in eastern Nangarhar The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country.. province. Islamic State has somehow established itself in territory adjacent to Pakistain, cleared of terrorists by operation Zarb-e-Azb. You can't establish a major military presence without funding and logistics. Gee, Golly, Shucks, and a coupla Goshes, but how can that occur right under the very nostrils of the Pak government? It's amazing. Smacks of the dark arts. Nangarhar governor's spokesperson said the clash erupted in Sayed Ahmadkhil area of Kot District in the wee hours of Saturday. Ataullah Khogyani added that the clash left 12 Death Eaters killed and 10 others maimed. According to Khogyani, security forces did not suffer casualties but two civilians sustained injuries by bullets fired by the holy warriors. Kot is one of the at least seven districts of Nangarhar province where the Death Eaters have a stronger presence. Taliban were the primary security challenge for security forces but Daesh [Islamic State] which emerged in Nangarhar about 14 months before has been proved more dangerous. The group's larger presence has been witnessed in Nangarhar but a new report shows that it has 7,000 to 8,000 fighters all over Afghanistan. Posted by: Fred 2016-02-07 |
