he United States launched an airstrike following a suicide bombing at Kabul airport earlier this week. The target of the drone strike, believed to have been killed with no known civilian causalities, was an ISIS-K fighter believed to be involved in the planning future attacks, according to two U.S. defense officials.
The US military says it has killed an ISIS-K planner in the Nangarhar Province of Afghanistan. According to the US officials, the target was planning to attack US officials in Kabul airport. A UAV took off from an unnamed base in the Middle East and reportedly hit the target while he was in a car with another associate. It’s reportedly the first UAV strike launched by the United States from outside Afghanistan.
“U.S. military forces conducted an over-the-horizon counterterrorism operation today against an ISIS-K planner,” Captain Bill Urban, spokesman for U.S. Central Command, confirmed Friday night. “The unmanned airstrike occurred in the Nangahar Province of Afghanistan. Initial indications are that we killed the target. We know of no civilian casualties.”
The statement did not identify the target of the attack, or what role a “planner” has in the group. It is unclear whether the planner was involved in Thursday’s attack.
But because of little or no information about the “leader” they killed people started speculating that Biden needed a win and he invented one!
Photos that have been released by an Afghan news organization show the place where the drone strike occurred but show no human remains at all!

The White House has not offered any comments since the strike.
I agree, made up give the Commander in Thief some cover.
We’re any dead goats seen?
I guess they couldn’t find an aspirin factory (Clinton reference).
It seems so, a fake
No human remains, but what about goat remains? That might be circumstantial evidence.
How can they target these assholes if we no longer have ground assets in country, and everything is in chaos?
Ain’t buying what they are selling.
Obama promised that the Benghazi killers would be brought to justice. They all got away while Obama immediately turned his attention elsewhere. The same thing will happen here.
Didn’t earlier reports quoting govt sources say the drone targeted a moving vehicle the “planner” was riding in.
No trust left with this administration.
They kill 13 of us, and a couple hundred Afghans, and we kill one of them.
Droolin’ Joe certainly showed them!

And the families of the deceased are never heard from again, as the MSM covers the Dems like no others.
They know they are complicit in foisting Jug Ears on us to save us from the Evil Bush, and now with Joey the Incompetent from the mean tweeter Donald Trump.
The important thing is this... Biden said he would take action... The press is reporting that he took action... What the action is... Who knows? But Biden took action... He’s a man of action who takes action... Very presidential... And even if it was just a million dollar drone sent into an empty desert to explode and go poof... It was action and they killed one person... According to the press.
The press wanted Biden and they convinced about half of America that Biden was the right choice... There is no way that they will ever admit that Biden is what Biden is... Incompetent, old and more senile with every passing day.
His one saving grace... A VP who nobody wants as President.
I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if Biden’s team coordinated this “attack” with both the Taliban and ISIS.
Biden’s representative:
Look guys, we’re leaving a lot of people behind. We know you’re going to take them as hostages. But President Biden has to appear strong. So we’re going to hit these coordinates in about five hours. Please make sure the place is empty.
And of course we will pay you for the inconvenience.
Just propaganda designed to tell everyone “look, we got even”.
Surprise! Democrat taliban party government lied.
Seems suspicious that the very day after a bomb blows up in Kabul, they “know” who did it and where to find him...if our intelligence was that good, why didn’t they hit him BEFORE he killed 13 US servicemen?
