ISIS Leader in Pakistan and Afghanistan Reported Killed By Drone Strike
He was a primary target. Hafiz Saeed Khan, the regional ISIS leader for Pakistan and Afghanistan, was reportedly killed by a U.S. drone strike last month. The Afghan ambassador to Pakistan today made the news public, announcing that Khan’s thought to have died in the eastern province of Nangarhar on July 26th. The strike allegedly killed up to 30 people, many of them thought to be senior militants: ISIS, however, denies that Khan was one of them. Though the US military has yet to confirm Khan’s death, it would be a heavy blow to ISIS’ hold on the region.
