It became known on the Elimination leader ISIS

April 27 in an operation conducted by Afghan intelligence agencies and the US in the eastern Nangarhar province was killed the leader of a terrorist group "Islamic state" in Afghanistan, Abdul Hasib.

It is reported Reuters citing US and Afghan officials.

Hasib, who was appointed leader of the terrorist group last year after the death of his predecessor Hafiz Saeed Khan as a result of US air strikes, carried out a number of large-scale attacks, particularly on account of his attack on the main military hospital in Kabul, where dozens were killed by doctors and patients.

Earlier Pentagon spokesman said that Hasib was probably eliminated during the raid, US and Afghan Special Forces in Nangarhar that killed two US Army Ranger, but the final confirmation of this information was not.

As reported by "Apostrophe" in April, the United States eliminated a close ally of Syria leader of the terrorist organization "Islamic State" Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who was involved in organizing a New Year's attack in nightclub Istanbul.
