None

WASHINGTON - A military raid last month killed the head of the Islamic State affiliate in Afghanistan, the Pentagon said Sunday night.

 

The death of Abdul Haseeb Logari had been suspected after the April 27 raid on a compound in Nangarhar, a province in eastern Afghanistan, but officials said then that they were not certain.

 

Logari was among several high-ranking leaders of Islamic State in Afghanistan who died in the raid carried out by Afghan Special Security Forces in partnership with US forces, the Pentagon said in a statement.
