Reuters 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;
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.
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.
“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.
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.

No more bacha bazi for this POS. To the Operator that dispatched this waste of skin, first 20 rounds on me.
Unfortunately, said operator may be one of the two Rangers who were killed.
There is a reliable rumor that the two US soldiers were killed by friendly fire. There is a current investigation into this.
Can’t kill enough of them for my liking.
One less lice-ridden organism that we have to worry about.
My only complaint is that we lost two fine young men in the process.
I’m glad Abdul Hasib and his assistants are all dead. But I mourn the young heroes who were lost.
Well said.
Damn it.
First Hillary loses and now this…
The $400,000 speeches only help so much.

Adios, motherfucker. Burn in Hell.
God rest the two men lost in the operation, and protect those still in the fight.
“5.56 injection.”
Epic.
I will be using that from this moment forward.
Ker-pow.
I hope that Hasib’s death was extremely painful, and also that he got to take a good, long look at the faces of the American soldiers who killed him in his last minutes while he was on his way to Hell.
Looks like he found out the hard way that being an ISIS-K terrorist asshole comes at a very high price indeed.
Next.
ISIS-K, a very nasty bunch. The “K” is for “Khorasan” and refers to ISIS in Afghanistan and Pakistan, as opposed to Iraq and Syria. Yes, I had to look it up.

So it doesn’t refer to the “contained” ISIS? I’m no grad student…
BZ!
May he enjoy the “tender mercies and person attention” of Shay’tan daily for all eternity.
Apparently that particular career field is a promotion rich environment.
I hope he enjoys his 72 virgin goats!
Another batch of flea-bitten goatfuckers dispatched straight to hell, B’BYE!!!
To kill a snake, cut off its head, to kill a many headed snake…..CUT OFF ALL ITS HEADS!!
