Afghanistan

2017-04-29
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] At least forty five forces of Evil 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 during the clearance 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 group’s leader in charge of communications and relations Qari Nafiz was among 36 killed during the Arclight airstrikes and ground clearance operations in Achin district.

Several hideouts and a tunnel used by ISIS forces of Evil were also destroyed during the operations.

MoD further added that 9 ISIS forces of Evil were killed and two others were maimed during a separate operation conducted in Haska Mina district.

According to MoD, the operation in Haska Mina involved Arclight airstrikes but no further details were given if the Arclight airstrike was carried out by the US forces or the Afghan Air Force.

Nangarhar is among the relatively calm provinces in eastern Afghanistan but the anti-government armed Death Eater groups have recently increased their insurgency activities in some parts of the province during the recent years.

Both the Afghan and US forces conducted regular strikes against the loyalists of the terror group in this province.

The increased raids, usually involving dronezaps, by the US forces followed a broader role granted by the B.O. regime earlier last year.
