4 ISIS militants killed in Afghan forces operation in Nangarhar
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] At least four loyalists 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.... of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorist group were killed during an operation 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 of Afghanistan. The Ministry of Defense (MoD) said the bully boyz were killed in the restive Achin district of Nangarhar. The anti-government armed holy warrior groups including the ISIS loyalists have not commented regarding the report so far. Both the Afghan and US forces conducted regular strikes against the loyalists of the terror group in this province. The increased raids, usually involving dronezaps, by the US forces followed a broader role granted by the B.O. regime earlier this year. The broader role was granted amid concerns that the loyalists of the terror group are attempting to expand foothold in the country and turn the eastern Nangarhar province into a regional operational hub for its fighters. In the meantime, the Afghan officials are saying that the oyalists of the terror group have received a major blow due to the operations of the Afghan and coalition forces. The Afghan National Security Adviser Mohammad Hanif Atmar said last week that 80 percent of the ISIS loyalists fighting in Afghanistan are Pak nationals who are normally fleeing to other side of Durand Line when under pressure from the Afghan and US forces.
