KABUL (TIP): The Afghan intelligence agency on July 9 said a third top IS commander in Afghanistan was killed in a US drone strike in the country’s east this week.
Shahidullah Shahid, a former member of the Pakistani Taliban who defected to the IS and was operating in Afghanistan, was killed along with five militants on Tuesday, an official said. “He wanted to expand IS operation in the country and with his death, it will have an impact on their activities,” Hasib Sediqi, spokesman for the Afghanistan National Directorate of Security (NDS), said.
