[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 have beheaded two men 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.

According to the local government officials, the incident took place on Friday in a remote village of the restive Achin district.

The district administrative chief Esa Khan Zwak quoted has told VOA’s Afghanistan service that the two men had their heads chopped off and their dead bodies were left in an open area.

There are no further details available regarding the identities of the two men and the charges based on which the terror group’s loyalists executed them.

Zwak said efforts are underway to ascertain the identities of the two men and hand over their bodies to the families.

The latest horrific execution of the two men by ISIS loyalists comes as the Afghan forces are busy conducting counter-terrorism operations to suppress the insurgency of the Lions of Islam in some restive districts of Nangarhar.

The local officials earlier said ISIS loyalists have sustained heavy casualties during the Shaheen-25 operations which were launched weeks ago and are still being conducted in volatile districts, including Haska Mina, Achin, and Kot.
