US conducts drone strike against ISIS in Afghanistan
On Thursday, US President Joe Biden issued a strong statement over the Kabul blasts vowing to avenge the deaths of the 13 servicemen and make those responsible for the incident pay. Addressing the nation from the White House, President Biden also asserted that the US would continue to evacuate its citizens and the mission will go on. The United States military on Friday struck back against the ISIS-K in the aftermath of the devastating twin blasts at the Kabul Airport. As per agency sources, the US launched a drone strike against an Islamic State member in Nangarhar. The ISIS-K member was reportedly involved in planning the attacks against the US in Kabul. The strikes come in response to the death of 13 US servicemen who were involved in the evacuation operations at Kabul’s Hamid Karzai International Airport. At least 169 Afghans including several children, who were lodged at the gates of the airport to escape the Taliban regime, also lost their lives in the attack. Sharing details of the drone strikes that targeted the ISIS-K planner, Pentagon in a statement said that as per initial indications, the target had been eliminated.
Navy Capt. Bill Urban, a Central Command spokesman, said in a statement, “U.S. military forces conducted an over-the-horizon counterterrorism operation today against an ISIS-K planner. The unmanned airstrike occurred in the Nangahar Province of Afghanistan. Initial indications are that we killed the target. We know of no civilian casualties.” Nick Note: See their is nothing to worry about. The US has over the horizon technology to stop the terrorists….. I though this is so cool. Then I started to think about it… Why did they use this whizzbang technology BEFORE the terrorists attack not AFTER it.
