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.
Usually when they target and kill a specific terrorist, they provide a name of the animal. Have not seen a name. Did they ever come up with this terrorist’s name?
If he was so easy to get, why didnt they do it a week ago
Fake Kill. No body.
Made up.
Here is a drone photo of the attack on the "planner":
Satisfied now?

But most likely this was a Clintonian aspirin factory like bombing.
The window was closing to rescue Joe. Only four days left to “hunt them down and make them pay”.
And. . .who took that picture and how do we know it was the result of a Predator strike?
Something doesn’t smell right.
Never trust a pinko
Ummmm, what’s that from?
We have removed all our human intelligence sources on the ground. We do not know who if anyone was killed. We do not know how many (it is thousands) of USA citizens are trapped in Afghanistan.
What we do know is the ISIS bomber (if he is ISIS) went through Taliban checkpoints. The Taliban has great experience with bomb making. They know how to check for bombs. The Taliban let the bombers through the check points.
Ha ha, reminds me of Bill Clinton killing a milk Factory. Nailed Bin Laden...or not
We abandoned Bagram air base in the middle of night at the beginning of July. That was really stupid. In addition to the obvious, Bagram also had a prison in which 5,000 terrorists were being held. They were released because we cut and ran. Those terrorists were almost certainly behind the recent bombing, and I imagine they’ll find other outlets for their talents in the near future.
But don’t worry, Joe Biden authorized a drone strike.
If that was an Isis stronghold why a single target?
The strike does show that they should be able to render all of our abandoned equipment inoperable.
“I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if Biden’s team coordinated this “attack” with both the Taliban and ISIS.”
And the victims...if there were any...were probably friendlies.
Its called a joke, but about as credible as the Biden administrations claims.
