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.
Ya harvest a shred, do a DNA analysis, compare to the 23 and Me and Ancestry data bases, identify the family the bomber came from and disappear the whole fam-damily...
Just like “our” government wants to do here in a few years.
Aint much f a drone strike when it can’t even take out a golf cart.
Ah. Good point. I though it might have been from a dystopian movie set in the not too distant future.
crock of sh*t
The “planner” was making a youtube video to enrage the Afghans and he was killed before it could be uploaded.... Remember clinton / obama/biden using the excuse of a youtube video when Benghazi happened?
