Dying to kill
It is reported in the press that in Pakistan, 12 security personnel were killed last month when a suicide bomber rammed an explosive-laden vehicle into a check post in Pakistan’s north-western Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
A senior commander of the Islamic State (IS), Yaser Khurasani, was among six militants killed in Afghanistan’s Nangarhar province, officials said on Thursday.
“Acting upon intelligence report, aircraft targeted the hideout of the IS group in Khogiani district, killing Khurasani and five others on the spot,” Xinhua news agency quoted an Afghan Army statement as saying.
