US drone strike targeted ISIS-K planner believed to be 'associated with potential future attacks at the airport'
The ISIS-K planner targeted by a US drone strike in Afghanistan was believed to be "associated with potential future attacks at the airport," a US defense official told CNN Saturday. The US located him and "had sufficient eyes on and sufficient knowledge" to strike, the official said, adding that he "was a known entity" but that the US is not calling him a "senior" ISIS-K operative. | | | | | | | | |
