Islam Times - ISIS Ringleader in Afghanistan Killed

Islam Times - ISIS terrorist group ringleader in Afghanistan was killed in a strike on the group's headquarters in Kunar province earlier this week.

Reuters cited Pentagon spokeswoman Dana White as saying on Friday that other members of the ISIS group were also killed in the strike on Tuesday.

Abu Sayed is the third Gang leader of ISIS in Afghanistan to be killed since July 2016.

Former leader Abdul Hasib was killed on April 27 in the eastern province of Nangarhar. Hasib's predecessor Hafiz Saeed Khan died a drone strike in 2016.

The local affiliate of ISIS has been active since 2015, fighting the Taliban and Afghan forces.
