CNN: US military conducts airstrike against ISIS-K planner
(CNN)The US has conducted an airstrike against an ISIS-K planner, a spokesman for US Central Command said in a statement Friday.
"U.S. military forces conducted an over-the-horizon counterterrorism operation today against an ISIS-K planner.
The unmanned airstrike occurred in the Nangahar Province of Afghanistan.
Initial indications are that we killed the target. We know of no civilian casualties," spokesman Capt. Bill Urban said in the statement.
The announcement of the strike came a day after President Joe Biden vowed to retaliate for a terrorist attack that killed 13 US service members and at least 170 others outside Kabul's international airport even as he said the frantic mission to airlift Americans from Afghanistan would continue.

Pathetic weak response
the strike probably killed 2 goats and a chicken
Yes hurry, must hurry! Ahmed you are a planner today congrats! Haven't seen this many losers ( Biden et al) in a long time.
"I expected more." Actually I'm surprised we got a response this quickly. In my considered opinion, this is more evidence the Taliban is being held on a very light leash.
