Taliban Kill ISIS Leader Responsible for Deadly Kabul Airport Attack

Taliban fighters killed the head of the ISIS-K cell that carried out a suicide bombing at the Kabul airport in August 2021, killing 13 U.S. service members and 170 Afghans.
The Biden administration recently learned of the ISIS leader's death through U.S. intelligence gathering.
The ISIS leader's identity has not been released to the public.
The Taliban and ISIS-K have been engaged in fighting since the U.S. withdrew troops from Afghanistan.
The news provides little solace to the families of the fallen service members.
