[Khaama (Afghanistan)] A US Arclight airstrike left at least five turbans 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
 of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorist group 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 provincial police commandment in a statement said the Arclight airstrike was carried out on Sunday in the vicinity of Haska Mina district.

The statement further added that a Toyota Corolla type vehicle of the holy warriors was targeted in the Arclight airstrike, leaving at least five turbans dead.

Several weapons, ammunition, and explosives loaded on the vehicle were also destroyed, the statement added

In the meantime, the Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
 murderous Moslems launched a coordinated attack on the security posts in Hesarak district, erupting a heavy shootout with the security forces.

According to the police commandment, at least two Taliban murderous Moslems were killed after the Afghan forces responded to the enemy fire.

The local security officials are saying that the local residents and security personnel have not suffered any casualties during the Arclight airstrike and festivities.

The US forces conduct Arclight airstrikes, mainly using unmanned aerial vehicles, almost on daily basis in a bid to eliminate the terrorist safe havens and prevent them from expanding their foothold in the country.

The Arclight airstrikes resumed last year and after a broader role was granted to the US forces by the former US administration.
