...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more.

province of Afghanistan.

The provincial government media office in a statement said the Arclight airstrikes were carried out in Achin district on Tuesday.

The statement further added that the bully boyz were targeted in Mamand Dara and Dab village areas of the district.

Some weapons and ammunition of the bully boyz were also destroyed in the Arclight airstrike, the statement said.

It also added that the local residents and security personnel on the ground did not suffer any casualties in the Arclight airstrikes.

Nangarhar is among the relatively calm provinces in East of Afghanistan but the anti-government armed bully boyz have increased their insurgency activities in some districts of the province during the recent years.

A similar Arclight airstrike killed a key member of the terror group in this province earlier this week.

The provincial police commandment in a statement said the Arclight airstrike was carried out by the US forces with unmanned aerial vehicles on Sunday killing two ISIS members including a key member of the terror group identified as Qari Zahid.
