Afghanistan Army reports death from IS leaders
Special forces of the Afghan army have officially killed the leader of the terrorist "Islamic State" (IS) in Afghanistan, Abdul Hasib.
This was announced by the Afghan Presidential Palace on Sunday in a statement. US forces confirmed in a statement the death of Hasib and "several other ranghoher representatives" as well as of 35 fighters of the jihadist militia. The operation in the province of Nangarhar in the east of the country had taken place a week ago - one day after two US soldiers were killed in Afghanistan.
Hasib was personally responsible for an attack on a military hospital in Kabul in March, killing 49 people and killing 76 others, the Afghan Presidential Palace said. The IS has been active in Afghanistan since 2015 with its own offshoot. He fights the Taliban as well as Afghan and US forces.
The death of Hasib and his confidants could "weaken" the IS in the Hindu city "significantly" and bring the goal of the destruction of the militia closer to this year, according to an older statement from the US troops. The Pentagon estimates the number of remaining IS fighters in Afghanistan to be around one thousand. The United States has recently been massively violating the terrorism program in Afghanistan. In the Nangarhar province, US forces used their largest non-nuclear bomb in April, killing at least 90 suspected extremists.
The hive of Hasib is said to have been near the tunnel complex on which the United States threw off its "mother of all bombs" on April 13th
