...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 Ministry of Defense (MoD) said the ISIS leader killed during the operation has been identified as Syed Omar Bajawari who was also famous as Khetab.

According to a statement by MoD, Bajawari was killed along with at least 24 faceless myrmidons during the counter-terrorism operations conducted in Achin district.

The statement further added that four ISIS commanders including Bajawari were killed along with 21 other bully boyz during the operations.

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

Both the Afghan and US forces based in Afghanistan are conducting regular operations to suppress the insurgency led by ISIS faceless myrmidons and other bully boy groups including Taliban.

The local security officials said Tuesday that nine faceless myrmidons of the ISIS terrorist group were killed during the counter-terrorism operations conducted by the Special Forces of the Afghan National Police Pekha area of Achin district in the past 24 hours.
