The individual killed in a US drone strike in Afghanistan is not believed to be a senior ISIS-K official, according to a source quoted by Reuters news agency.

The US official added that future action against Islamic State Khorasan has not been ruled out.

The American military conduced the drone strike against an ISIS-K member in Afghanistan's Nangahar Province, which borders Pakistan, following a suicide bombing at Kabul airport on Thursday.

The strike killed one person and there were no known civilian casualties.

This was done so Biden could brag that he did “swift decisive action” on ISIS-K after the attack. The MSM trumpeted it far and wide.

Yep, now Biden and his henchmen can say, look, we took bold and decisive action against this ISIS-K group, to retaliate, and nobody messes with the US, yadda yadda, yadda.

We probably spent three quarters of a million dollars blowing up a Hilux. That’ll show ‘em.

Fortunately we have a bottomless treasury because otherwise we would run out of missiles long before they run out of Hiluxes.

John Kirby just NOW at the briefing: "We're just no going to release names."

Translation: We killed a goat herder for political CYA.

The network news last night and this morning was breathlessly exclaiming Biden reacted against ISIS with American strength and awesome firepower...ROFLMAO!!!!!!!

They blew up a golf cart how many miles away from Kabul???

I guess this scared the sh*t out of Taliban and ISIS and now the Kabul Airport is wide open and Americans and Afghans who worked with America can now safely leave...

Yeah...Uh-huh.....
