[Khaama (Afghanistan)] A commander of the loyalists of 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 has been killed along with his 5 murderous Moslems in an Arclight airstrike 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 Arclight airstrike was carried out in Haska Mina district, apparently by the US forces as an unmanned aerial vehicle was involved.

Provincial governor’s front man Ataullah Khogyani confirmed that a commander of the ISIS terrorist group was killed with five others in a drone strike.

This comes as the local officials in eastern Nangarhar province earlier said drone strikes have played a role in suppressing the activities of the loyalists of Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorist group in Achin district.

The district administrative chief of Achin Ghalib Mujahid said the group has received major blows in this district during the recent months and their activities have become limited by a large extent.

He said the loyalists are the terror group are targeted on daily basis both the Afghan forces and the US forces.

Achin was once a stronghold of the loyalists of ISIS terrorist group from where they started their operations in the country.

The US forces stepped up Arclight airstrikes against the terror group after the B.O. regime granted more authorities to the US forces in the country.
