2016-07-25
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] A commander of 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 who was involved in the barbaric execution of at least 11 civilians has been killed in an Arclight airstrike in 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.

Provincial governor’s front man Ataullah Khogyani said the Arclight airstrike was carried out by the foreign forces late on Friday night in Achin district.

He said the ISIS commander was identified as Jangal Pacha and was killed along with 7 other ISIS snuffies in the Arclight airstrike.

The loyalists of ISIS terrorist group have not commented regarding the report so far.

The horrific execution video was released earlier in the month of August last year which purportedly showed the ISIS loyalists forcing the men to sit on landmines and subsequently detonating the explosives.

The loyalists of the terror group claimed that the men were supporting the government and US forces and were looking to coordinate drone strikes against ISIS snuffies in Nangarhar.
It seems they didn't get them all...
The death of Jangal Pacha comes as both the Afghan and US forces have stepped up raids against the loyalists of the terror group in this province.
