[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Taliban
...Arabic for students...
gunnies suffered casualties in an Arclight airstrike conducted by the US forces 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 local officials said Thursday.

The Arclight airstrike was carried out late on Wednesday night using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, drone, in Lalpur district.

The provincial government media office in a statement confirmed the Arclight airstrike on the Taliban murderous Moslems.

The statement further added that five Taliban gunnies were killed and another krazed killer was maimed in the Arclight airstrike.

A foreign krazed killer fighting for the Taliban gunnies was also among those killed, the statement said, adding that the security forces and local residents did not suffer any casualties in the Arclight airstrike.

The anti-government armed krazed killer groups including the Taliban gunnies have not commented regarding the report so far.

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

This comes as an anti-ISIS operation is underway in Nangarhar to eliminate the presence of ISIS affiliates in this province.

The US forces based in Afghanistan are also providing support to the Afghan forces during the operations, mainly involving Arclight airstrikes.

#1  The anti-ISIS action caught mostly Taliban? Was the dead foreigner ISIS, or is this group merely a target of opportunity? A lovely thought, either way.
