The leader of the ISIS group in Afghanistan and Pakistan was killed by a U.S. drone last month, a U.S. defense official has announced.
Pentagon spokesman Gordon Trowbridge told Fox News that Hafiz Saeed Khan died July 26 from an airstrike in Nangarhar province in eastern Afghanistan.
"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," Trowbridge said.
The spokesman added that he has been active in the region since last summer and used the area to train and equip militants and provide a "continuous supply of enemy fighters."
