2016-10-25
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] At least 9 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 were killed in separate operations 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 of Afghanistan.

The provincial government media office in a statement said at least 4 Death Eaters were killed during an operation by the Afghan forces in Pacher Agam district.

In the meantime, the Ministry of Defense (MoD), said at least 5 Death Eaters were killed during an Arclight airstrike in the same district.

He said a compound belonging to the loyalists of the terror group was targeted in the Arclight airstrike which destroyed in the raid.

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

This comes as the local officials said Saturday at least 54 loyalists of the terror group were killed during a large scale operation launched in this province.

Nangarhar is among the relatively volatile provinces in eastern Afghanistan where both the Taliban Lions of Islam and Death Eaters loyal to ISIS terrorist group are actively operating.

Both the Afghan forces and the US forces in Afghanistan are conducting regular raids against the Taliban Lions of Islam and ISIS loyalist in the districts where they are conducting insurgency activities.

The US forces increased Arclight airstrikes against the Taliban Lions of Islam and ISIS loyalists earlier this year after the B.O. regime granted a broader role to the American forces.
