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..

While talking to a presser in the area on Monday, the operation commanders said that several villages have been cleared of forces of Evil and security forces recovered large number of weapons and ammunition belonging to the terrorist group of Daesh [Islamic State] during the operation.

...back at the barn, Bossy's udder had begun to ache...
13 forces of Evil have been killed in an internal clash Karkani area of Achin District.

Fighters 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....
(IS) which also goes by its Arabic name 'Daesh [Islamic State]' and others belonging to Taliban group came across in the area on Sunday and opened fire on each other.

Eight other forces of Evil were killed in the clash.

Nangarhar has become the battle ground of Taliban and Daesh [Islamic State] where they have announced 'Jihad' against each other.

Loyalists of Daesh [Islamic State] are former members of Taliban. They separated ways with Taliban after the Islamic State (IS) bully boy group which is also known by its Arabic name 'Daesh [Islamic State]' came into shape.

The two sides have fought in a number of Afghan provinces but the most deadly festivities have been erupting in Nangarhar province.

Achin, Haska Meena and Bati Kot are among the districts of Nangarhar where both sides have killed/beheaded dozens of each other's fighters.

Due to the tense situation and continued festivities between the two groups, hundreds of families have been forced to leave their homes in those areas.
