2017-10-23
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] A deadly US Arclight airstrike targeted a training camp for the jacket wallahs 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.
"Honey! It's... it's from the suicide bomber training camp!"
"What's happened, dear?"
"It's Sonny! He's been... (sob!) killed!"

According to the local security officials, the Arclight airstrike was carried out in Achin district of Nangarhar on Saturday.

The provincial police commandment in a statement said at least 40 people including two trainers of the terror group and several suicide bombers were killed in the Arclight airstrike.

The statement further added that the training camp was located in Pekha area of Achin.

The two ISIS trainers killed in the attack have been identified as Qari Koran and Qari Fida, the police commandment added.

Several weapons, ammunition, and explosives belonging to the terror group were also destroyed in the Arclight airstrike, the police commandment said.

The anti-government armed Death Eater groups have not commented regarding the report so far.

The destruction of the training camp could play a vital role in restricting the activities of the terror group as they have carried out numerous deadly suicide kabooms in Kabul city and other parts of the country during the past recent months.

The group grabbed credit behind the mosque bombing in Kabul that left more than 50 dead and scores more maimed.
