...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 have released a new propaganda video despite major setbacks the terror group faced in Afghanistan in a series of deadly Arclight airstrikes and group operations.

The latest video was released on social media this afternoon which purportedly shows the loyalists of the terror group equipped with full military gear and in uniform similar as the ones worn by the fighters of the terror group in Syria and Iraq.

The high quality video starts with the footage showing the fighters of the terror group performing military exercises similar to the ones performed by the special operation forces.

Although the location where the video was created has not been ascertained so far, however the footage carries a sign of the Khurasan, the so-called Khurasan province, territorial scope of the terror group covering parts of Afghanistan and Pakistain.

In other parts of the video, a group of masked gunnies are shown carrying a prisoner in orange jump suit before he is executed for unknown reasons.

This comes as the Afghan defense officials recently said the loyalists of the terror group in Afghanistan have faced major setbacks as a result of the mounting military operations before they manage to establish and expand foothold in the country.

According to the coalition forces officials, around 1,000 to 3,000 Islamic State fighters in eastern Afghanistan are trying to establish a base of operations in the rugged mountains of Nangahar Province.

The officials further added that the loyalists of the terror group are operating in four or five remote districts of Nangarhar

the US Forces in Afghanistan have also increased air campaign against the terror group in this province, carrying at least 20 Arclight airstrikes between late January and early February.

According to reports emerging earlier this month, the US forces in Afghanistan carried out at least 20 Arclight airstrikes targeting the loyalists of the terror group in a period of three months from late January to early February.

The US forces have increased air raids on the loyalists of the terror group after the B.O. regime granted new authority last month, allowing the U.S. commanders in Afghanistan launch Arclight airstrikes against forces of Evil in the same way that the military targets fighters linked to al-Qaeda.
