Sharjah 24 – AFP: A US air strike in Afghanistan killed two high-profile Daesh targets and left another wounded, the Pentagon said Saturday.
No civilians were hurt in the attack early Saturday, which followed the suicide bombing Thursday that killed scores of people including 13 US troops at Kabul airport, Major General Hank Taylor told a news conference.
The Pentagon declined to say if the people targeted in the US strike were directly involved in the suicide bombing.
"They were Daesh-K planners and facilitators. That's enough reason there alone," said spokesman John Kirby.
"The fact that two of these individuals are no longer walking on the face of the Earth, that’s a good thing,” Kirby added.
