US says drone strike killed IS-K planner

a reply to: norhoc

What is your point?

What's your point other than proving you don't understanding that opposition to Trump does not equal support of Biden.

What was his name? I do not see in any of the articles his name. Just that it was him and one other guy. I call BS. Somehow they do not know how many US citizens are still in Afghanistan but this guys is found?

Jihadi Joe called in a Corn Pop story...

They can't even find all the Americans there with months to find them, and we are expected to believe they found a planner of a bomb that went off 2 days ago in a country we have no "assets" in anymore?

Im willing to bet they did attack a vehicle with a drone, killing 2 people.

What im not so sure about is that these 2 have anything to do with ISIS-K.

But who knows.
Maybe the old man got lucky and 2 suspected members just happened to be out going for a drive.

I'm with you on this, The
U.S. Government and Media has lied so much I want to see Independent confirmation.

Didn't they just say in a press conference not that long ago that their intelligence was greatly diminished because of this debacle? Now all of a sudden..........POOF!! Who am I to believe anymore?

a reply to: Tarzan the apeman.

What is amazing to me is ISIS-K is an organization never mentioned until a day or two before a suicide bombing at kabul airport. Now we are to believe this is the greatest threat to the US? Sounds very convenient to the war machine that wants in a perpetual war.

a reply to: gortex

No, because we wouldn't be in this situation with the other guy.

I suspect if the other guy had done this there would be much celebrating and many posts of "USA USA USA" rhetoric but because it's the Biden administration it's just Meh/

Fair enough , it's to be expected here.

Some sure, but not all..

My question is since we pulled all of our assets and have to rely on the Taliban and other afgan tribes for intel, how likely is it this was a legit good kill.

Remember how many times did we strike an ISIS leader and have it turn out to be bad intel.

I just dont buy it.

Too convenient.

Now we got "the" guy, we dont need to do anything else I'm guessing.

a reply to: Irishhaf

Exactly, for all we know Taliban could be giving us people to strike that they want taken out for their benefit and saying "that is the guy you want" If we did anything at all. We are all assuming we drone striked anything. This is just a bogus story so biden can say he did something. Just like ISIS-K appeared out of thin air as the greatest threat to the US. We have our new boogey man

There isn’t one msm outlet that would have believed this claim by the military if Trump had spiked this football.

No doubt the Taliban aided in this but also existing intelligence likely played a part , I think they knew who they were going after so it probably was a good kill but we can't be sure he was behind the bombing although I think it's likely.

Remember how many times did we strike an ISIS leader and have it turn out to be bad intel.

Got him in the end though , flies can be hard to swat but eventually you hit the target.

Oh what a super convenient time and it sure sounds like a copy of what somebody else did !!

I bet it's just another wild lie to get attention 🤣🤣

Any real proof of this being real ? 🤣🤣

man you just swallow whatever kool aid you are being served don't you

a reply to: gortex

You mean one of the many that plan to kill American infidels, right?, this terrorist are martyrs, this is an honor to died for their cause.

But without going for the head of the dragon, that is the Taliban leadership, it means nothing.

If anybody is getting the assumption that this was all an ISIS agenda, you are falling for the lies.

The senile incompetent president is going to blame as many as he can as long as he is not taking the blame.

The US military say they have killed the suspected planner of the suicide bomb attacks outside Kabul airport.

In the wake of Thursday's deadly bomb attack outside Kabul airport, the US military says it has carried out a drone strike, killing a planner for the Afghan branch of the Islamic State group.

The suspected member of IS-K, or Islamic State Khorasan Province, was targeted in Nangarhar province.

A Reaper drone, launched from the Middle East, struck the militant while he was in a car with another IS member, killing them both, an official told Reuters news agency.

Swift justice but the danger still exists.

Why do they keep calling the dead guy "the suspected planner" and "the suspected member of IS-K". Geez, are they afraid of getting sued for saying the guy was guilty, he was just "allegedly guilty" until a court trial.

To whoever the PC PR person that did these press releases...GROW A PAIR and OWN IT! We killed a bad guy, not a suspected bad guy! Right?

a reply to: Sookiechacha

Maybe the whole story is made up PR crisis management (get it get it?)😼

Kirby just said they won't release the names of the 2 IS that they killed.

Why? That makes no sense unless they are trying to cover something up.

a reply to: Vasa Croe

From the secretary of Defense to anybody involved in all this incompetent groups should be released from duties and on congressional inquiry, all of them.

The family of American left behind in Afghanistan, the Family members of those killed, need to raise up and scream for accountability and congressional hearings.

So from the presser I am gathering that they must have a "planner" and a "facilitator" in order to target and strike. It can't be just one or the other. It has to be both....interesting. and they won't answer if the target was one or the other or both.

What a strange answer
