| [Khaama (Afghanistan)] At least 21 holy warriors were killed in a series of air and ground 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 Ministry of Defense (MoD) said the operations were conducted in Pacher Agam district. The provincial police commandment said earlier this week this a clearance operation is underway to eliminate 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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorist group in the area. The local security officials said at least 30 holy warriors of the terror group were killed in the operations, including the shadow judge of the terror group. However, the difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits... the Ministry of Defense (MoD), in a statement said Monday that 44 holy warriors of the terror group were killed along with the shadow judge. The operations in Pacher Agam were launched amid concerns that the loyalists of the terror group are attempting to move towards the Tora Bora mountainous region in a bid to fortify their presence in the region. The deputy house speaker of the Afghan Parliament Zahir Qadir earlier warned that serious efforts are underway by the loyalists of the terror group to establish the Khurasan Caliphate. The operations have apparently been launched following Qadir’s comments after he alleged that the loyalists of the terror group have seized several strategic points in Pacher Agam which is close to Tora Bora. |
