Pentagon denies that a US soldier was killed by ISIS

| January 23, 2018

According to the Military Times, ISIS in Afghanistan, ISIS-Khorasan (ISIS-K) reported that they had killed a US soldier along with seven Afghan troops;

The Islamic State offshoot, known as ISIS-Khorasan, or ISIS-K, claimed in their news release that a joint attack by Afghan and U.S. forces on the villages of Jaharwazi and Mariz was repelled by insurgents.

“The clashes resulted in the death of a Crusader soldier and the wounding of seven apostates. The rest fled and managed to survive,” ISIS-K alleged in its statement.

But the Pentagon has denied that;

“I can confirm there were no United States Forces-Afghanistan service members killed in Nangarhar in the last 24 hours,” Capt. Tom Gresback, director of public affairs for Resolute Support, told Military Times.

“As the Afghans defeat the enemy in Nangarhar, we continue to receive daily reports from the insurgents of their successes. Those claims are false,” he added.

ISIS, smh…
I remember when the Free World had a hint of fear over you.
Now you bacon-eating, bacha bazi doing, booze drinking, hypocrites can’t even manage to hurt a damn soul.
Go back to the hills and your goats.

“The clashes resulted in the death of a Crusader soldier and the wounding of seven apostates.” Man, I love that lingo.

PLASTIC DUCK

Please. They are not ISIS and never were or will be a state. Just call them DAESH, if only because they don’t like it.

OWB

Awww. They’ve had to start lying about their accomplishments? Sounds like some other folks we know and hold in low esteem.
