After a joint effort by U.S. and Afghani forces that started in April, Islamic State’s capital in Afghanistan has been captured. The capital, Deh Bala, lies on the border of Afghanistan and Pakistan. Roughly 170 terrorists were killed in the operation, which was mounted by roughly 600 American Green Berets and three Afghan commando companies; the Americans and Afghans reported they suffered no casualties.
Brig. Gen. John W. Brennan Jr., commander of NATO forces in eastern Afghanistan, said, “This area, two months ago, was controlled by Daesh (ISIS). We pushed them into the mountains, so they cannot harm the people here.”
