The Taliban government in Afghanistan confirmed the killing of top ISKP leaders Qari Fateh and Abu Usman Al-Kashmiri in a counter-terror op in Kabul.
The Taliban government in Afghanistan said its security forces killed two key Islamic State commanders during a counter-terrorism raid in capital Kabul a few days ago. One of the slain terrorists was Qari Fateh, touted as the intelligence chief and a former minister of war of the Islamic State-Khorasan Province (ISKP), said Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid.
