The Pentagon said Friday that a U.S. drone strike late last month killed the leader of ISIS's branch in Afghanistan.
Hafiz Sayed Khan was killed in a July 26 strike in Nangarhar province, the Pentagon said. Khan was the leader of ISIS' Khorasan province, the terror group's regional branch that operates in Afghanistan. The "province" also covers Pakistan.
"Khan was known to directly participate in attacks against U.S. and coalition forces, and the actions of his network terrorized Afghans, especially in Nangarhar," Pentagon deputy press secretary Gordon Trowbridge said in a statement.
Afghanistan's ambassador to Pakistan, Dr. Omar Zakhilwal, earlier said Khan was killed in a drone strike.
