...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi.

According to the local security officials, the hard boyz were killed on Saturday and Sunday in the vicinity of Achin district.

The officials further added that the Arclight airstrikes were conducted in Dap and Momand areas of Achin district.

No further details were given regarding the Arclight airstrike and it is yet not clear if the raids were conducted by the Afghan forces or the US forces based in Afghanistan.

In the meantime, the officials said the hard boyz killed during the Arclight airstrikes are all foreigners.

Nangarhar is among the relatively calm provinces in eastern Afghanistan but the anti-government armed Lion of Islam groups are attempting to expand their foothold in this province, including the loyalists of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.

The attempts by Lion of Islam groups forced the Afghan forces to launch a major operation, Shaheen-25 operations, to suppress their activities.
