Afghanistan drone strike 'kills IS commander Abdul Rauf'

[waz]

A drone strike in Afghanistan has killed a militant commander who recently swore allegiance to Islamic State (IS), officials say.

The police chief of Helmand said that former Taliban commander Mullah Abdul Rauf had died in the Nato strike.

It emerged last month that Rauf had sworn allegiance to IS after falling out with the Taliban.

Tribal elders in northern Helmand say a car carrying up to six people was destroyed while crossing the desert.

The car was loaded with ammunition and exploded, reports said.


The militant commander's brother-in-law and four Pakistanis were also killed in the attack, Helmand police chief Nabi Jan Mullahkhel was quoted by Reuters as saying.

Oh well, so much for IS Khursan.

I know you guys have heard my joke before but I'll write it again.

What was the last thing going through Mullah Rauf's mind?

A AGM-114 missile.

Someone tell these guys that hadith on army from Khurusan is weak and likely fabricated during Abbasaid era. So there is no such army coming from there to give victory to Mahdi. There are only a few sahih hadiths on Mahdi. Problem is groups like these take these weak hadiths to form fronts thinking they are divine army.

That is a very strong possibility. He was a clear enemy to them and the groups had clashed, with the Taliban getting the better of them and killing many.
