Indian ISIS recruits likely killed in Afghanistan airstrike

Good.
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] A group of Indian nationals who were recruited by the turbans in ISIS ranks have likely been killed in an Arclight airstrike in Afghanistan, it has been reported.

According to the Indian officials, reports regarding the killing of four ISIS recruits hailing originally from Kerala have emerged.

The police chief of Kerala Loknath Behera has told news hounds that the four individuals along with a child have likely been killed in a dronezap in Afghanistan.

He has cited preliminary reports received by the authorities and added that the reports could not be verified but investigations are underway in this regard.

The individuals had reportedly visited Syria in 2016 in a bid to take part in terrorist related activities in ISIS ranks.

This comes as counter-terrorism operations and airstrikes are underway against the terror group in a number of the provinces of Afghanistan.

The Afghan officials have in the past confirmed the killing of imported muscle among the ISIS ranks in Afghanistan but they have so far not commented regarding the killing of Indian nationals so far.
