Two "highest" ISIS victims have been killed and another wounded in an American strike in Afghanistan, the Pentagon said on Saturday, in retaliation for a terrorist attack that killed 13 US members and 170 others outside Kabul International Airport. .
"I can confirm, as more information has been received, that two respected ISIS victims were killed, and one was injured. And we know of non-civilian victims," Maj. Gen. Hank Taylor, deputy director of Joint Staff For Regional Operations, told a news conference on Saturday. "Without specifying any future plans, I would say that we will continue to have the ability to defend ourselves and use greater force to carry out counter-terrorism activities as needed."
Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said all targets had been hit in one strike, calling them "ISIS organizers and allies."
A U.S. security official told ENB last Saturday that one of the men was believed to be "linked to a possible attack on the airport." The United States has found him and "has enough eyes and knowledge" to strike, the official said, adding that he was "a well-known organization" but the US did not call him "ISIS" great work. "
The man was in a compound in the Jalalabad area, another security official told ENB, and new tactics following the Kabul terrorist attacks were intensified to determine the cause of the strike. The source said the hiring continued in the compound until the victim's wife and children left before the US staged a drone strike.
