KABUL (Pajhwok): An Indian national who joined Daesh or Islamic State (IS) militant group in eastern Nangarhar province was reportedly killed four days back in a US drone strike, media report said on Saturday.
The news of killing of Murshid Mohammed, one of the 17 missing Kerala youths who had joined Islamic State terror organisation and travelled to IS territory in Afghanistan via Teheran in mid-2016, was broken to his father by a woman identifying herself as his wife Mughira, said a report in the timesofindian.
Murshid, 24, was unmarried when he left for `hijra' to the Islamic State-controlled Nangarhar. According to the report he was killed in a US drone strike on April 11 exactly two months after another missing youth from Indian Kerala province who was also killed by drone strike in Afghanistan.
Though Murshid was killed a couple of days before the US dropped the MOAB on IS-infested caves in Nangarhar, Indian agencies were trying to ascertain the fate of the other `missing' Keralites, the report said
