« Iran Bans Pokemon Go | Main | Israel Ordered to Pay Iran $1.1 Bill » US Hits ISIS Hard
By Micah Halpern
Thursday August 11, 2016 I've Been Thinking: The United States has confirmed that they have killed 300 ISIS fighters - that is 1/4 of their fighters - including much of ISIS leadership in Afghanistan. Yes, in Afghanistan. We think of ISIS in Iraq and in Syria and then in Libya and Yemen. But ISIS is now setting up shop in Afghanistan. And ISIS needs to be stopped. General John Nicolson, US head of the region, confirmed the kills. He told reporters: "They killed a number of top leaders of the organization and up to 300 of their fighters". "Obviously it's difficult to get an exact count, but what this amounts to is about 25% of the organization at least, and so this represents a severe setback for them." This is a very important step in checking ISIS as they attempt to expand into new regions. Without this check ISIS would be free to take over Afghanistan.
