Senior ISIS commanders killed in Afghanistan air strike
KABUL -- Several senior members of ISIS' central Asian affiliate were killed in a U.S. air strike in Afghanistan, officials said on Sunday.
The attack on Thursday killed Abdul Rahman, identified by the U.S. military as the Kunar provincial emir for Islamic State of Iraq and Syria-Khorasan, according to a statement from the command in Kabul.
"The death of Abdul Rahman deals yet another blow to the senior leadership of ISIS-K," said General John Nicholson, the senior U.S. commander in Afghanistan.
Three other senior ISIS-K members were also among those killed in the strike in eastern Kunar province.
