 "ISIS, IS, attack, weapons, terrorist, terrorism, terror")
US and Afghan troops killed the leader of the Islamic State group's Afghanistan affiliate in an April raid, US military officials confirmed on Monday.
The raid in Nangarhar province targeted the leader, Abdul Hasib, US-Forces Afghanistan said.
It said earlier that if confirmed, the death of Hasib and his associates would "significantly degrade ISIS-K operations in Afghanistan and help reach our goal of destroying them in 2017".
