Reuters<\/a> reports that the Pentagon confirmed that Abdul Hasib, the head of Islamic State in Afghanistan, was killed in the April 27th raid which also killed two Army Rangers;<\/p>\n

Hasib, appointed last year after his predecessor Hafiz Saeed Khan died in a U.S. drone strike, is believed to have ordered a series of high profile attacks including one in March 8 on the main military hospital in Kabul, a statement said.<\/p>\n

Last month, a Pentagon spokesman said Hasib had probably been killed during the raid by U.S. and Afghan special forces in Nangarhar during which two U.S. army Rangers were killed, but prior to Sunday’s announcement there had been no confirmation.<\/p>\n

“This successful joint operation is another important step in our relentless campaign to defeat ISIS-K in 2017,” the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, Gen. John Nicholson said in a statement from U.S. military headquarters in Kabul.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So the ISIS-K emir retirement plan is saving money. Two emirs retired by 5.56 injections in nine months time. Jihadist heaven is getting crowded. Hasib left this world with several of his lieutenants and 35 of his fighters. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
