3 Al-Qaeda network members killed in airstrikes in South of Afghanistan
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] At last three members of the al-Qaeda terrorist network were killed in Arclight airstrikes in southern Zabul province of Afghanistan.

The Ministry of Defense (MoD) said the bully boyz were killed during the Arclight airstrike conducted in Audaki village located in Tarang district.

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

The US forces in Afghanistan have stepped up counter terrorism operations against the terrorist groups during the recent months.

The increased operations by US forces followed after a broader role was granted to them earlier last year.

The latest Arclight airstrikes against the al-Qaeda network members came as at least 31 bully boyz including 18 jacket wallahs were killed during the clearance operations in this province earlier this month.
