15 militants killed, 5 wounded in Laghman airstrikes: MoD
2016-11-22
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] At least 15 Lions of Islam were killed and 5 others were maimed in a series of Arclight Arclight airstrikes conducted in eastern Laghman province of Afghanistan.
...It has a population of about 445,600, which is multi-ethnic and mostly a rural society. During the invasions of Alexander the Great, the area was known as Lampaka, wich is apparently Olde Macedonian for Laghman.The city of Mihtarlam serves as the bucolic capital of the province. The population is half Pashtun, the remainder Tadjik and Pashai. It had a repution of great wealth until it was conquered in the tenth century by Abu Mansur Sabuktigin.
He conquered it and set fire to the places in its vicinity which were inhabited by infidels, and demolishing the idol-temples, he established Islam in them, He marched and captured other cities and killed the polluted wretches, destroying the idolatrous and gratifying the Musulmans. After wounding and killing beyond all measure, his hands and those of his friends became cold in counting the value of the plundered property.
The Ministry of Defense (MoD) said the Arclight airstrikes were carried out in Alishen and Alingar districts.

No further details were regarding the Arclight airstrikes and it is yet not clear if the raids were conducted by the Afghan Air Force or the US forces based in Afghanistan.

Both the Afghan and US forces are conducting regular Arclight airstrikes against the Lions of Islam based in Afghanistan.

The increased raids followed amid rampant Taliban-insurgency across the country as the group is busy conducting attacks as part of its spring offensive.

The US forces based in Afghanistan resumed Arclight airstrikes against the Lions of Islam in Afghanistan after the B.O. regime granted them broader role to suppress the growing insurgency in the country.
