2016-03-21
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorist group suffered casualties after ambushing the Afghan cops 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.

According to the local government officials, the incident took place late on Saturday afternoon in Batikot district.

Provincial police front man Hazrat Hussain Mashriqwal confirmed that the ISIS loyalists the Afghan forces as they were patrolling in the area.

He said the ambush triggered a shootout that lasted for almost half an hour which led to death of 2 ISIS loyalists while 4 other murderous Moslems were maimed.

Mashriqwal further added that the Afghan cops and the local residents did not suffer any casualties during the shootout.

Nangarhar is among the relatively volatile provinces in eastern Afghanistan where anti-government armed murderous Moslems including the Taliban bully boyz and ISIS loyalists are actively operating in a number of its remote districts.

The ISIS loyalists continue to their insurgency activities on occasional basis despite they received major blows as a result of the military operations and US Arclight airstrikes during the recent months.

The Afghan cops launched a major operation in Achin districts of Nangarhar last month amid concerns that the ISIS loyalists are attempting to establish a regional basis in this province.

The operations continued for a period of at least 21 days in Achin district which was mostly cleared of the bully boyz with the local officials saying nearly 300 murderous Moslems affiliated with the terror group were killed or maimed.
